Verbose log file should show you the states of everything. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Ridd [mailto:chrisr...@mac.com] Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2009 09:51 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Control conditional on installed components
I've been bashing my head against this all day today :-( We optionally install some shortcuts to things written in Java, and I want to warn in the ExitDialog if those shortcuts were wanted but could not be installed because Java's not there. To add complexity, we allow the user to use different JREs and JDKs. So we have something like this in the wxs: <Component Id="app_jre15"...> <Condition>JRE15HOME</Condition> <Shortcut...> <Registry KeyPath="yes" Root="HKLM" Key="Software\foo\app_jre15"/> </Component> <Component Id="app_jdk15"...> <Condition>JDK15HOME AND NOT JRE15HOME</Condition> <Shortcut...> <Registry KeyPath="yes" Root="HKLM" Key="Software\foo\app_jdk15"/> </Component> [... and similar for JRE16HOME and JDK16HOME...] The Registry keys are there to disambiguate the identical-looking components. I added another component: <Component Id="app_nojava"...> <Condition>NOT JDK15HOME AND NOT JRE15HOME</Condition> <Registry KeyPath="yes" Root="HKLM" Key="Software\foo\app_nojava"/> </Component> Theorizing that if JDK15HOME and JRE15HOME are not set (they're properties set by searching the registry for particular JavaSoft keys) the app_nojava component is registered as installed. So my custom ExitDialog tries to warn if it sees the app_nojava component is installed. I'm basically using a tweaked WixUI_Mondo BTW: <Control Type="Text"... Text="WARNING" Hidden="yes"> <Condition Action="show">?app_nojava = 3</Condition> </Control> On some machines this works. On others though it consistently does not. On all machines the correct shortcuts get installed, or not at all if Java's completely removed. What's wrong? Why does MSI not remember the install state of app_nojava in the ExitDialog?
