My project is based on the BasicMSI Installshield project. I need to add intallation requirement for J# redistributable, i.e. J# must be installed on the computer in advance. Following registry key is created on the computer when J# redistributable is installed
Hense I added new custom SW condition: What to find: Registry entry Registry Root: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Registry Key: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Visual JSharp Setup Registry Value: My installation should be continued if ther key is found.
I tried to install my installer on the computer which has J# reditributables and correct registry key is created, but installation always stops with the message I specified in the requirement. Hence installer cannot find the key.
If you are using System Search, hence RegLocator Table, then it is "not possible to use the RegLocator table to check only for the presence of the key."
You can either look for another registry entry that contains value data if there is one, or create a custom action that determines if the registry exists and sets a property which can then be used.
