Hi all,
I'm deploying an application that generates and displays PDF files and need
to add a condition of acrobat 8 (reader or full version) on the installer
(and preferably allow them to install it)
I'm trying to detect the version of Acrobat installed using the version of
the AcroPDF.dll Dll on the users system.
The following snippet obtains the location of the DLL file:
<Property Id="ACROBATDLL">
<RegistrySearch Id='AcrobatDLLRegistry' Type='raw'
Root='HKCR'
Key='CLSID\{CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000}\InprocServer32' />
</Property>
Result:
Property(S): ACROBATDLL = C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat
7.0\ActiveX\AcroPDF.dll
Now I need to get the version of the dll, which needs to be version 8.0.0.0.
To this end I'm trying to do a filesearch as follows:
<Property Id="ACROBATVERSION8">
<FileSearch Id='AcrobatVersion8File'
Name='[ACROBATDLL]'
MinVersion='8.0.0.0'/>
</Property>
This isn't returning any results, presumably because I don't have a
directorysearch element.
Can anybody answer any of the following questions:
1) Can I make FileSearch work with a full path in the Name property
2) can I separate the name & path so that I can populate a DirectorySearch
and FileSearch
3) Is there an easier way to get the FileVersion of the dll into a property?
(custom action?)
4) Finally, once I've detected that Acrobat is missing, how can I allow the
user to install it (it will be shipped on the product CD).
Thanks,
Antony
