AssemblyCheck

This element is an optional child element of InstallChecks. For each instance of AssemblyCheck, the bootstrapper will make sure that the assembly identified by the element exists in the global assembly cache (GAC). It contains no elements, and has the following attributes.

Attribute	Description
Property	Required. The name of the property to store the result. This property can be referenced from a test underneath the InstallConditions element, which is a child of the Command element. For more information, see <Commands> Element (Bootstrapper).
Name	Required. The fully qualified name of the assembly to check.
PublicKeyToken	Required. The abbreviated form of the public key associated with this strongly named assembly. All assemblies stored in the GAC must have a name, a version, and a public key.
Version	Required. The version of the assembly. The version number has the format <major version>.<minor version>.<build version>.<revision version>.
Language	Optional. The language of a localized assembly. Default is neutral.
ProcessorArchitecture	Optional. The computer processor targeted by this installation. Default is msil.

ExternalCheck

This element is an optional child element of InstallChecks. For each instance of ExternalCheck, the bootstrapper will execute the named external program in a separate process, and store its exit code in the property indicated by Property. ExternalCheck is useful for implementing complex dependency checks, or when the only way to check for the existence of a component is to instantiate it.

ExternalCheck contains no elements, and has the following attributes.

Attribute	Description
Property	Required. The name of the property to store the result. This property can be referenced from a test underneath the InstallConditions element, which is a child of the Command element. For more information, see <Commands> Element (Bootstrapper).
PackageFile	Required. The external program to execute. The program must be part of the setup distribution package.
Arguments	Optional. Supplies command-line arguments to the executable named by PackageFile.

FileCheck

This element is an optional child element of InstallChecks. For each instance of FileCheck, the bootstrapper will determine whether the named file exists, and return the version number of the file. If the file does not have a version number, the bootstrapper sets the property named by Property to 0. If the file does not exist, Property is not set to any value.

FileCheck contains no elements, and has the following attributes.

Attribute	Description
Property	Required. The name of the property to store the result. This property can be referenced from a test underneath the InstallConditions element, which is a child of the Command element. For more information, see <Commands> Element (Bootstrapper).
FileName	Required. The name of the file to find.
SearchPath	Required. The disk or folder in which to look for the file. This must be a relative path if SpecialFolder is assigned; otherwise, it must be an absolute path.
SpecialFolder	Optional. A folder that has special significance either to Windows or to ClickOnce. The default is to interpret SearchPath as an absolute path. Valid values include the following: AppDataFolder. The application data folder for this ClickOnce application; specific to the current user. CommonAppDataFolder. The application data folder used by all users. CommonFilesFolder. The Common Files folder for the current user. LocalDataAppFolder. The data folder for non-roaming applications. ProgramFilesFolder. The standard Program Files folder for 32-bit applications. StartUpFolder. The folder that contains all applications launched at system startup. SystemFolder. The folder that contains 32-bit system DLLs. WindowsFolder. The folder that contains the Windows system installation. WindowsVolume. The drive or partition that contains the Windows system installation.
SearchDepth	Optional. The depth at which to search sub-folders for the named file. The search is depth-first. The default is 0, which restricts the search to the top-level folder specified by SpecialFolder and SearchPath.

MsiProductCheck

This element is an optional child element of InstallChecks. For each instance of MsiProductCheck, the bootstrapper checks to see whether the specified Microsoft Windows Installer installation has run until it is completed. The property value is set depending on the state of that installed product. A positive value indicates the product is installed, 0 or -1 indicates it is not installed. (Please see the Windows Installer SDK function MsiQueryFeatureState for more information.) . If Windows Installer is not installed on the computer, Property is not set.

MsiProductCheck contains no elements, and has the following attributes.

Attribute	Description
Property	Required. The name of the property to store the result. This property can be referenced from a test underneath the InstallConditions element, which is a child of the Command element. For more information, see <Commands> Element (Bootstrapper).
Product	Required. The GUID for the installed product.
Feature	Optional. The GUID for a specific feature of the installed application.

RegistryCheck

This element is an optional child element of InstallChecks. For each instance of RegistryCheck, the bootstrapper checks to see whether the specified registry key exists, or whether it has the indicated value.

RegistryCheck contains no elements, and has the following attributes.

Attribute	Description
Property	Required. The name of the property to store the result. This property can be referenced from a test underneath the InstallConditions element, which is a child of the Command element. For more information, see <Commands> Element (Bootstrapper).
Key	Required. The name of the registry key.
Value	Optional. The name of the registry value to retrieve. The default is to return the text of the default value. Value must be either a String or a DWORD.

RegistryFileCheck

This element is an optional child element of InstallChecks. For each instance of RegistryFileCheck, the bootstrapper retrieves the version of the specified file, first attempting to retrieve the path to the file from the specified registry key. This is particularly useful if you want to look up a file in a directory specified as a value in the registry.

RegistryFileCheck contains no elements, and has the following attributes.

Attribute	Description
Property	Required. The name of the property to store the result. This property can be referenced from a test underneath the InstallConditions element, which is a child of the Command element. For more information, see <Commands> Element (Bootstrapper).
Key	Required. The name of the registry key. Its value is interpreted as the path to a file, unless the File attribute is set. If this key does not exist, Property is not set.
Value	Optional. The name of the registry value to retrieve. The default is to return the text of the default value. Value must be a String.
FileName	Optional. The name of a file. If specified, the value obtained from the registry key is assumed to be a directory path, and this name is appended to it. If not specified, the value returned from the registry is assumed to be the full path to a file.
SearchDepth	Optional. The depth at which to search sub-folders for the named file. The search is depth-first. The default is 0, which restricts the search to the top-level folder specified by the registry key's value.

Remarks

While the elements underneath InstallChecks define the tests to run, they do not execute them. To execute the tests, you must create Command elements underneath the Commands element.

Example

The following code example demonstrates the InstallChecks element as it is used in the product file for the .NET Framework.

<InstallChecks>
    <ExternalCheck Property="DotNetInstalled" PackageFile="dotnetchk.exe" />
    <RegistryCheck Property="IEVersion" Key="HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer" Value="Version" />
</InstallChecks>

InstallConditions

When InstallChecks are evaluated, they produce properties. The properties are then used by InstallConditions to determine whether a package should install, bypass, or fail. The following table lists the InstallConditions:

FailIf	If any FailIf condition evaluates to true, the package will fail. The rest of the conditions will not be evaluated.
BypassIf	If any BypassIf condition evaluates to true, the package will be bypassed. The rest of the conditions will not be evaluated.

Predefined Properties

The following table lists the BypassIf and FailIf elements:

Property	Notes	Possible Values
Version9X	Version number of a Windows 9X operating system.	4.10 = Windows 98
VersionNT	Version number of a Windows NT-based operating system.	Major.Minor.ServicePack 5.0 = Windows 2000 5.1.0 = Windows XP 5.1.2 = Windows XP Professional SP2 5.2.0 = Windows Server 2003
VersionNT64	Version number of a 64-bit Windows NT-based operating system.	Same as mentioned earlier.
VersionMsi	Version number of the Windows Installer service.	2.0 = Windows Installer 2.0
AdminUser	Specifies whether a user has administrator privileges on a Windows NT-based operating system.	0 = no administrator privileges 1 = administrator privileges

For example, to block installation on a computer running Windows 95, use code such as the following:

<!-- Block install on Windows 95 -->
    <FailIf Property="Version9X" Compare="VersionLessThan" Value="4.10" String="InvalidPlatform"/>
