SYSTEM SEARCH..HELP...
Hi
I have an application whose installation should not continue if MS Office is not installed.
Hence I used System Search
In System Search i entered the following.
Registry Root:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Registry Key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{90110409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9}
Store in Property:SEARCHOFF
Additional Options:Store Value in Property and use the property in an install condition
Then in AppSearch table
Property:SEARCHOFF
Signature:NewSignature1
In LaunchCondition table
Condition: SEARCHOFF{ I tried with the condition “Not SEARCHOFF†also..but in vain}Description:Continue installation after installing MS OFFICE
But i get the same msg "Continue installation after installing MS OFFICE"
when i try running the application in a machine having MS OFFICE and not having MS OFFICE.
IS THERE ANY OTHER OPTION OTHER THAN System Search?
Thanks in advance..

If you look in the MSI help-file (MSI.CHM) for the LaunchCondition table it says:
Expression that must evaluate to True for installation to begin.
So if the registry info is found the SEARCHOFF property will be set, make sure this property is not set in the Property table.
So the condition should be NOT SEARCHOFF for the installation to continue if office already installed.

But the installation is continuing if OFFICE is not installed.In what sequence are the two actions occuring? You must ensure that AppSearch runs before LaunchConditions.
