FileSearch element (Util extension)

Describes a file search.

Attributes

After

string

Id of the search that this one should come after.

Condition

string

Condition for evaluating the search. If this evaluates to false, the search is not executed at all.

DisableFileRedirection

wxs:YesNoTypeUnion

When set to “yes” and the running bundle is 32-bit, Wow64DisableWow64FsRedirection is called before starting the search.

Id

string

Id of the search for ordering and dependency.

Path

string

File path to search for.

Result

Rather than saving the matching file path into the variable, a FileSearch can save an attribute of the matching file instead. This attribute’s value must be one of the following:

  • exists: Saves true if a matching file is found; false otherwise.
  • version: Saves the version information for files that have it (.exe, .dll); zero-version (0.0.0.0) otherwise.

Variable

string required

Name of the variable in which to place the result of the search.
