Hi!
I have a .Net application that calls several msi setups for a user in order to simply the installation of a complex software (for example in addition to the actual software that the customer wants it also automatically installs an SQL server, licensing software and a log file reader). For this .net application it will not only be important to know if the product is installed, but also with what features it was installed.
Of course I could check the installfolder if specific subfolders and files do exist in order to determine which feature was selected, but this seems very cumbersome and unreliable. Is there an easy way to find out which features are selected for my installed software product from outside of the installer?
At first I suspected to find some information about the installed features in the registry, but could not find any hint there. On the other hand the installer itself knows what is installed and what not - but where is that information stored? Any ideas?
Regards
Ralf
I have to admit that this is a cross post from the flexera forum, but I did not get an answer there... :-(
