Alternatively, you can use registry for check installation:
<source lang="xml">
<check type="registry" condition="exists" path="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{A278382D-4F1B-4D47-9885-8523F7261E8D}_is1\UninstallString" value="C:\Program Files\Tracker Software\PDF Viewer\unins000.exe\" />
<check type="registry" condition="exists" path="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{A278382D-4F1B-4D47-9885-8523F7261E8D}_is1\DisplayVersion" value="2.5.189.0" />
</source>
== Install from MSI ==
This is an amended version of the original package further below which uses both the 32bit and 64bit installers and exit codes appropriately to bypass the incompatabilities of each with the other OS. The install checks are also accurate as well. I have used this so I can use one package on 32bit XP and 64bit Windows 7.
</package>
