Fast and dirty. I'm sure there are more elegant ways to get it. -- John Merryweather Cooper Build & Install Engineer - ESA Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.® Shawnee Mission, KS 66227 Office: 913-341-3434 x791011 [email protected] www.jackhenry.com -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 23, 2012 3:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [WiX-users] DTF question Hi everyone, I'm wanting to write a little utility to help our deployments server monitor installations. I can use the Database class on an MSI and get its productcode with an appropriate query and hence then verify that it is installed. However, MSPs don't seem so straightforward. What's a good way to, given a path to an MSP file, determine if it has been installed (i.e., the equivalent of seeing if it is visible in Programs and Features)? Assume no obvious connection between its filename and that of what it patches.
