I'm aware of the guide at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/240794 however
that only solves half my problem.
Basically, I know that the following registry key contains the directory
I want and that it is consistent over Excel 2002/XP, Excel 2003 and
Excel 2007 (same GUID for all three versions).
HKCR\CLSID\{00024500-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\LocalServer32
The value of this registry key is something like:
C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~2\OFFICE11\EXCEL.EXE /automation
I just want the directory put into another MSI property, so I can copy
another file (Excel.exe.config) to that same directory during my WiX/MSI
installation.
I have tried using ComponentSearch, DirectorySearch and FileSearch but I
can't figure out what combinations to use to get this to work since I
have no examples (http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title=Wix_Schema) and
the doc text is very sparse.
Here an example of what I have tried:
<Property Id="EXCELDIR2002" >
<ComponentSearch Id="ExcelDirSearch2002"
Guid="{00024500-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}" Type="directory" >
<FileSearch Id="ExcelExeFile2002" Name="Excel.exe" />
</ComponentSearch>
</Property>
I've tried others too. Any working example of these elements, or any
pointers, would be helpful.
Thx
/Mathias
