I would definitely suggest disabling this LaunchCondition on uninstall.  It
seems really harsh to require your users to have Word installed just to
remove your product.  <smile/>

That said, it seems like your Condition "NOT Installed AND WORD11<>"""
should work.  Have you looked at a verbose log file for the install and
uninstall and looked at all of the properties involved and verified that
they are what you expect?

I tried to use this with some success... 

Here is my code that almost works (checks MS Word):

<Property Id="WORD11">
   <RegistrySearch Id="w11" Root="HKLM" 
Key="Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\InstallRoot" Name="Path" 
Type="registry"/>
</Property>

<Condition Message="This application requires Microsoft Word 2000 or 
above to function correctly. Please install MS Word.">WORD11 &lt;&gt; 
""</Condition>

It works pretty good on installation. But on uninstallation (when I 
click on "Remove" in Add/Remove programs) it fails with ths 
condition's message. It seems so, that when uninstallation runs by 
clicking on "Remove", properties are not initialized... Am I right? 

So, the question is how to skip this condition on unistallation?

I tried (NOT Installed) AND (WORD11 <> "") but it doesn't help...

Thank you.
