Hello,
I am building a new installer for our application. Our customers are using Java6 and Java7. I need to have the installer to set an environment variable dependent of the used Java version:
If Java 6 is installed the installer needs to set an environment variable as xxxxx
If Java 7 is installed the installer needs to set this environment variable as yyyyy
Is this possible to do within 1 installer? If so, how?
Thanks for your answers.

Re: Environment variables Java6/7
Hi,
In order to achieve what you want you can follow the steps below:
- go in the Search page and create a "File version" search using the [Extended Search] toolbar button and write the path to the file in the "File to find" text field (you can rename the search property i.e. JAVA_VER)
- go in the Install Parameters page and create a new property (i.e. MY_PROP) and in the "Value" text field write xxxxx
- go in the Custom Actions page, create a "Set installer property" custom action with sequence, place it under "Wizard Dialogs Stage -> Searches" action group and use the following settings:
- build and run the project
Let us know if this helped, otherwise give us more details about your scenario.
