VS2010, Setup Project
I add a Search64bitOffice property in Search Target Machine,

Name Search64bitOffice
Property: OFFICEIS64BIT
RegKey: Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Bitness
Root vsdrrHKLM
Value: x64

Then I add a launch condition Search64bitOffice
Condition: OFFICEIS64BIT
Message: This installer only works for 64 bit Office.

When I try installer on Win 7 64 bit + Office 32 bit, a window pops up saying “This installer only works for 64 bit Office” which is expected.
I click OK to dismiss the window, then another window comes up
saying
Installation Incomplete
The installer was interrupted before * could be installed. You need to restart the installer to try again. Click close to exit.

I do not want the second window to show up. How to remove it from installer? thanks

another question: how to use the reverse condition, say when the condition is false, I want installer to continue? I tried ~OFFICEIS64BIT, do not work

    I do not want the second window to show up. How to remove it from
    installer?

    You can’t remove it. It’s the user exit dialog which is shown when the installation is cancelled by the user or a launch condition.

    The most you can do is modify it, but this is not supported by Visual Studio.

    how to use the reverse condition, say when the condition is false, I
    want installer to continue?

    Use NOT to negate the condition:

    NOT OFFICEIS64BIT
