Facing issues based on Prerequisite editor on InstallShield
Problem : I want to check if my registry contains the MySQL Connector less than some specific value say 8.0.27.
On running the installer, it is asking me for prompt even if I have 8.0.27 installed in the machine.
I tried a different scenario in which the condition was to check "Data on target system is not equal to specified data". It is still showing me prompt, even if I have 8.0.27 installed.
The condition I have used is:
1. for less than the specific data:
<condition Type="32" Comparison="2" Path="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\MySQL AB\MySQL Connector/Net" FileName="Version" ReturnValue="8.0.32"/>
2. for not equal to specified data:
<condition Type="32" Comparison="32" Path="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\MySQL AB\MySQL Connector/Net" FileName="Version" ReturnValue="8.0.32"/>
Both are not working, can anyone please help me look into this?

Hi @varul
Apologies for confusion, I have MySQL 8.0.32 installed in my system and I was verifying your shared prq by changing the version from 8.0.27 to 8.0.32.
For reference, I am trying to check in my installer, if there is 8.0.32 is installed, then no prompt should be there, if the connector is less than 8.0.32 or there is no connector, it should prompt to upgrade the installer.

Thanks for explaining the issue,
I have investigated and found the issue is due to the registry value changes in 8.0.32 version
The registry for 8.027 the registry path has / added after MySQL Connector/NET
However in 8.0.32 the / option is removed and the registry has path MySQL Connector NET
which causes this issue, so you need to check for any other registry which is unique for both 8.0.27 and 8.0.32, or try with file exits with version option.
Refer the screenshot attached for your reference.
