I am trying to finsh an App extension installer, and I am up against a bit of
a wall in two or three different directions of approach.
Basic overall problem. For proper run of the extension, I need to match to
the existing master app, which i can easily do with the master apps registry
settings.
In trying to make an installer, I seem to have a trouble looking at those
registry settings and offering the user any choice at the same time. I want
to make the install check for versions of master app available, so the
extension can be attached to one of them.
Using Wix, I can't seem to look into the registry before the dialog starts,
if i can get the way how, then I would be good. Tried to set the sequence of
appsearch, didn't help.
I am also looking at a custom installer object, but need the methodoligy to
incorporate that into the ms instructions. Already have working code for most
of what i was missing, tho I could use confirmation on return values from a
custom installer object. Or Perhaps i am supposed to use imanagedinstaller
instead?
Any help appreciated.
