Can you share out some of the .wxs code? I'm just grasping at straws.

upgrade
Okay so the component is installed. When I run with the /l*vx log.log option
on msiexec I see the other properties getting "Added" and "set" to the correct
value (during AppSearch).
But this property results in the following
AppSearch: Property: SETASSOCIATION, Signature: fileassocsearch
MSI (c) (38:34) [16:19:10:389]: Note: 1: 1314 2:
00:\ACME.File.2\FriendlyTypeName\
Info 1314. The specified path '00:\ACME.File.2\FriendlyTypeName\' is
unavailable.
And the Property is never set.
In the component that I am looking for the Key Path is the creation of a
regValue at Root=HKCR, Key=ACME.File.2\FriendlyTypeName\
Using WiLogUtl.exe also does NOT show the property.

I don't quite parse that first sentence but if the Component wasn't installed
then I wouldn't expect to see the Property set. Thus the behavior you are
seeing may be expected sense.

It appears that because the keypath is a reg value and cannot be found it is
not creating the key.
All other properties in the log show something like
PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding ASSOCIATION property. Its value is ...
But the property I want for the ComponentSearch does not have such a line in
the log.

ComponentSearch returns the KeyPath of the Component if it was installed.
Otherwise, IIRC, the Property will be left blank.

The issue I found with that is it is returning the key path of a HKCR value
that I set in this component. Then msiexec is returning
Info 1314. The specified path '00:\<REG VALUE>' is unavailable. Then the
property seems to be created.
My component ONLY set file association keys
So my goal is to determine if the association is already set or not.
Thoughts?

Is there a way to detect what components were installed on a previous install?
I am doing a major upgrade and want to detect if a specific component was
installed before.
Thanks
