Hi,
so was we use electron-wix-msi 3.2.0.
For creating a MSI, we use msiCreator and we have config.xml that used to have such a precondition:
<Property Id="CPPRUNTIME20151719X64" Secure="yes">
<RegistrySearch Id="mfc140x64_23026" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Dependencies\{e46eca4f-393b-40df-9f49-076faf788d83}" Type="raw" />
<RegistrySearch Id="mfc140x64_24215" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Dependencies\{d992c12e-cab2-426f-bde3-fb8c53950b0d}" Type="raw" />
<RegistrySearch Id="mfc1416x64" Root="HKCR" Key="Installer\Dependencies\VC,redist.x64,amd64,14.16,bundle" Type="raw" />
<?foreach CPPRUNTIMEVERSIONPREFIX in 21;22;23;24;25;26;27;28;29;30;31;32;33;34;35;36;37;38;39;40;41;42?>
<RegistrySearch Id="mfc14$(var.CPPRUNTIMEVERSIONPREFIX)x64" Root="HKCR" Key="Installer\Dependencies\VC,redist.x64,amd64,14.$(var.CPPRUNTIMEVERSIONPREFIX),bundle" Type="raw" />
<?endforeach ?>
</Property>
<Condition Message="Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 (x64) Redistributable missing">
<![CDATA[CPPRUNTIME20151719X64 OR ((REMOVE = "ALL") AND NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE)]]>
</Condition>
Well, pretty bad because the huge number string of 40,41,42 is missing 43 and 44. Alright, fixed that. I also checked the registry for that this is in and it is. Nice.
However, this only makes the msi start. Now, within the process when I select the target directory etc, it will launch a second msi (??) and this should do the actual process. But mid-process it will at the step "Evaluating launch conditions" tell me "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 (x64) Redistributable missing".
Well, no, it's not. And I changed my config.xml. I searched the entire project and also electron-wix-msi project via file-search for anything mentioning this error message, there is only occurence in config.xml. But even if I change the name of my error myself and even if I remove the condition altogether, I will still run into the same problem, what the hell...
Any help? I have no clue why this comes up
