I need to show a warning message to the user (not a status message) based on the value of the property VS2010_IDE_VWD_PROJECTSYSTEM_INSTALLED. Here is a simple example:
{some files added}
...
<PropertyRef Id="VS2010_IDE_VWD_PROJECTSYSTEM_INSTALLED" />
<Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Value="INSTALLDIR" />
<UIRef Id="WixUI_InstallDir" />
<UI Id="CheckStudio">
<Dialog Id="StudioDlg" Width="260" Height="75" Title="Hello" NoMinimize="yes" >
<Control Id="Message" Type="Text" X="10" Y="10" Width="240" Height="40" Text="There is a problem." />
<Control Id="Return" Type="PushButton" X="110" Y="52" Width="50" Height="17" Default="yes" Cancel="yes" Text="&OK">
<Publish Event="EndDialog" Value="Return">1</Publish>
</Control>
</Dialog>
<InstallUISequence>
<Show Dialog="StudioDlg" Sequence="1" >
<![CDATA[Installed OR VS2010_IDE_VWD_PROJECTSYSTEM_INSTALLED]]>
</Show>
</InstallUISequence>
</UI>
I tried the following conditions:
VS2010_IDE_VWD_PROJECTSYSTEM_INSTALLED<>""
VS2010_IDE_VWD_PROJECTSYSTEM_INSTALLED<>"0"
VS2010_IDE_VWD_PROJECTSYSTEM_INSTALLED<>"{value}"
But nothing helps. On my both machines (one is installed VS, the other is clean), the dialog appears at the same time (but should only be on the first). I made a log and it shows that only on the first machine does this property matter. Ho, should these properties (indicating something) be used in such conditions? Maybe there is another way?
