I have a utility application that evaluates the install target / system… it's the ExePackage in the included example. Following the system assessment, a registry entry is written that I would like to use to install one or more .msi.
Is there a way to do the RegistrySearch after ExePackage and before MsiPackage? I’m familiar enough with WiX / Burn to know how order of operations / evaluation works… and know that the answer to this is probably “no" once I’m in the Chain. I just want to make sure that I haven’t missed a fine detail or known workaround for this kind of thing before I have to roll a custom BA. Anyone have any ideas?
