sounds great, but, it does not seem to work :^( I have the code below, and although WSE is installed, I keep getting the Condition Message. I have checked the msi which I used to install WSE and the Upgrade Code is correct. (I did copy-paste from its msi)
<Upgrade Id="B4BB35AA-51EC-41A5-9C85-90D6FA98968C"> <UpgradeVersion Maximum="99.0.0.0" Property="WSE30" OnlyDetect="yes" ExcludeLanguages="yes"/> </Upgrade> <Property Id="WSE30" Secure="yes"/> <Condition Message="This application requires WSE 3.0. Please install WSE 3.0 then run this installer again."> <![CDATA[Installed OR WSE30]]> </Condition> <InstallExecuteSequence> <FindRelatedProducts Before="LaunchConditions" /> </InstallExecuteSequence> On Wed, Jan 28, 2009 at 4:25 PM, Christopher Painter < chr...@deploymentengineering.com> wrote: > As much as I love DTF, I don't see the need for a CA in this scenario.
