All,
I am not certain where to post this as there is no group for MSI's or VS 2005, so I thought I'd post in my language and hope.
I have a VS2005 setup project for a SDK I have developed. This project included adding entries on a computer for adding bootstrapper information. This has been working find and dandy for a long time as long as you have VS2005 installed. This really has not beena big concern of ours, but we are finally beginnging to make the transition to VS2008 and we need the boot strapper information to be availble there as well. My problem is as some of the developers around here are not one VS2008 we keep getting an error of Error 1606. Could not access network location BootStrapper\Packages\<ProgramName>.
Here's the details:
I have 2 Registry Searchs that look for the correct paths for .net 2.0 and 3.5
I have 2 Custom Folders that have a DefaultLocation of [RegistrySearchPropertyName]\BootStrapper\Packages\<ProgramName>
When VS2005 and VS2008 are installed this works as expected
When either is missing I get the above error. Obviously the search is not finding entries if they are not installed and so [RegistrySearchPropertyName] is returning and empty string
What I have tried:
I have set the condition property on all folders and file needed to get boostrapping to work to be the same as [RegistrySearchPropertyName].
Does anyone have any thoughts?
I give my thanks in advance.
