[Gtk-sharp-list] Advice on Gtk# and WIX

[libin]

Add the following part in the "components" section of your product.wxs file
for GTK setup installation.

   <File Id="GTKSETUP" Source="../Pre-Requisites/To Run
Application/W2K3/x86_x64/gtksharp-2.8.3-win32-0.0.exe"
              Checksum="yes" Hidden="yes"/> 

Add this custom action inside "InstallExecuteSequence".

 <Custom Action="InstallGtk" Before="InstallFinalize">
        <![CDATA[NOT REMOVE AND NOT GTKINSTALLED]]>
      </Custom>

The following is the custom action which should be added to wxs file.

<CustomAction Id="InstallGtk" FileKey="GTKSETUP" ExeCommand="/silent"
Execute="deferred" Impersonate="no"
            Return="ignore"/>

The following is the property which should be added to wxs file for checking
the registry whether GTK# is installed or not.
  
    <Property Id="GTKINSTALLED">
      <RegistrySearch Id="gtksearch" Key="SOFTWARE\Novell\Gtk-Sharp\2.8.3"
Name="SdkInstallRoot" Root="HKLM" Type="raw"></RegistrySearch>
    </Property> 

Hope this helps..

Regards,
Libin

Hi there, I want to create a wix installer for my Gtk# windows application
and I would like to be able to inform the user when Gtk# is not installed on
his/her computer yet, or if it needs to be upgraded.

Then I would like to fire up the Gtk# installer (included with my installer)
if it needs to be upgraded or installed.

Does anyone know of existing WIX libraries/tools/tasks that I might be able
to use? Or can someone just point me in the right direction?

I believe this is a common scenario, it shouldn't be to difficult right?
