What I'm trying to do is simple...... confirm an instance of MSDE is installed, and if it is, allow the Install to launch.

I'm using System Search/Registry Entry that contains a folder.

Registry Root is HKLM
Registry Key is Software\\Microsoft\\Microsoft SQL Server\\AIRCLAIMS

Store val in property is 'MSDEFOUND'

What I cannot understand is what the Install Condition should be? What value do I look for?

If someone can tell me what I need to do for this, I'd be very grateful indeed!!

Many thanks
Paul

MSDEFOUND will be the value of the registry entry. If all you need to check is whether there "something" in this registry key, yu condition could simly by MSDEFOUND. If the registry entry doesn't exist MSDEFOUND would be empty, and thus evaluate to False.
