this is what i have done so far i have now got the diaolg showing regardless of if the reg key is found or not :S
here is my reg key search and this appears to be working <Property Id="OLD"> <RegistrySearch Id="OldOpti" Type="raw" Root="HKLM" Key="Software\Optisoft\Settings" Name="SetupType" /> </Property> Now this is wher i get confused (sorry im still a noob) Im not quite sure what to do from here, in the InstallExecuteSequence i put in the following <ShowDialog ="OldInstall"> but this clearly rong where do i put the condition? and waht would it look like ?
