\"LogotypesIn this blog post<\/a> we described how to check if Microsoft Office is installed in a computer during an installation. But what if Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint is installed, but not Microsoft Access, which is what you want? How to handle this situation in Visual Installer?<\/p>\n

In the new Visual Installer 2022<\/a> the answer is to use a new script condition that we have added to the script language. The name of the new script condition is IF ACCESS_INSTALLED<\/strong> and with this script condition you can check if Microsoft Access<\/strong> specifically<\/em> has been installed in the computer. So instead of trying to use the Microsoft Office condition check (as described in the earlier blog post<\/a>) you can use the new Microsoft Access condition check instead.<\/p>\n

Below we show two examples of how to use the new condition:<\/p>\n

\/\/ Example 1 – Tests if Microsoft Access is installed in the system<\/span>
\nIF<\/span> ACCESS_INSTALLED
\n\u00a0 RUN<\/span> %DESTDIR<\/span>\\InstallAccessTools.exe
\nEND IF<\/span>
\n   <\/span>
\n\/\/ Example 2 – Tests if Microsoft Access is not installed in the system<\/span>
\nIF NOT<\/span> ACCESS_INSTALLED
\n\u00a0 MSGBOX<\/span> “Information”, “Microsoft Access is not installed in this computer!”, 2
\nEND IF<\/span>\n<\/div>\n

  <\/span>
\nYou can also test if Microsoft Excel<\/strong> has been installed or not in the same way. Below we show two examples of how to use the Excel condition:<\/p>\n

\/\/ Example 1 – Tests if Microsoft Excel is installed in the system<\/span>
\nIF<\/span> EXCEL_INSTALLED
\n\u00a0 RUN<\/span> %DESTDIR<\/span>\\InstallExcelTools.exe
\nEND IF<\/span>
\n   <\/span>
\n\/\/ Example 2 – Tests if Microsoft Excel is not installed in the system<\/span>
\nIF NOT<\/span> EXCEL_INSTALLED
\n\u00a0 MSGBOX<\/span> “Information”, “Microsoft Excel is not installed in this computer!”, 2
\nEND IF<\/span>\n<\/div>\n

\nIt is also useful to know if the user has installed a 32 bit<\/strong> or 64 bit<\/strong> version of the Office program. But here you can use the same condition in Visual Installer’s script language as before (see the second half of this blog post<\/a> for details).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
