Hi,
Usually Search Properties are updated when the installer starts. Is it possible to trigger them again via a Custom Action.
Reason for this is that I have Search for a Registry Key thats based on a installation of another program. So when I uninstall this program I need the registry to update itself.
So I want to call my Custom Action and trigger the Search again to tell me that the Registry value does not exists since I removed this program. Is this possible?

Re: Possible? Trigger OnDemand Search
Hi,
I'm afraid that triggering a Windows Installer standard action (i.e. AppSearch) from a custom action is not possible. As a workaround, you can create a simple custom action that searches for the key you need in the registry and use that custom action as many times as you need in your project.
