How to obtain Product Code within a C# application?

[=?Utf-8?B?QWxoYW1icmEgRWlkb3MgRGVzYXJyb2xsbw==?=]

Hi misters,

How I can do this in C# ??

Dim installer As Object

installer = CreateObject("W indowsInstaller .Installer")

Dim products As Object = installer.Produ cts



For Each strProductCode As String In products

'Console.WriteL ine(strProductC ode)

Dim strProductName As String =
installer.Produ ctInfo(strProdu ctCode, "InstalledProdu ctName")

If strProductName = "Something" Then

'That's it.

End If

Next


Thanks !!!

Hi, i think this following code works, try it :

Type type = Type.GetType("W indows.Installe r");

WindowsInstalle r.Installer installer = Activator.Creat eInstance(type) ;

foreach (string strProductCode in installer.Produ cts)
{
Console.WriteLi ne(strProductCo de);
string strProductName = installer.Produ ctInfo(strProdu ctCode,
"InstalledProdu ctName");
if (strProductCode == "Something" )
{
}
}

thanks mister !!!

I need add some reference about Windows.Install er in my csproj ??? which
Reference, where the type WindowsInstalle r.Installer contains within the
reference ?

How can I detect that Windows Installer is installed in my machine ??

Thanks again, mister.

By using CreateInstance or CreateObject, you don't need to add a reference.
You should check for an exception when calling this to see if the class is
not registered, but I believe there will be a windows installer on every
machine.

You must add a reference to "C:\Windows\Sys tem32\msi.dll"

Here is the C# code reviewed :

Type type = Type.GetType("W indows.Installe r");

WindowsInstalle r.Installer installer = (WindowsInstall er.Installer)
Activator.Creat eInstance(type) ;

foreach (string strProductCode in installer.Produ cts)
{
Console.WriteLi ne(strProductCo de);
string strProductName = installer.get_P roductInfo(strP roductCode,
"InstalledProdu ctName");
if (strProductName == "Something" )
{
}
}

Re: How to obtain Product Code within a C# application?

You are right, when casting to the WindowsInstalle r.Installer type you need a
reference. If you are adding a reference though, why not just use:

WindowsInstalle r.Installer installer = new WindowsInstalle r.Installer();
