DotnetcoreSearch

[rouvian]

I have tried a lot of things but I am not able to install .net 7 with burn. Here is what I have

`
<netfx:DotNetCoreSearch MajorVersion="7" Platform="x64" RuntimeType="desktop" Variable="DotnetVersion"/>

<PackageGroup Id="NetCoreInstaller">
		
		
		<ExePackage Id="Netfx70"
					DisplayName="Microsoft .NET 7.0 SDK And Runtime"
					PerMachine="yes" 
					Permanent="yes" 
					Vital="yes" 
					Compressed="yes"
					InstallArguments="/norestart /quiet"
					SourceFile="$(env.Redist)\windowsdesktop-runtime-7.0.4-win-x64.exe"
					DetectCondition="DotnetVersion &gt;= v7.0.4" 
					InstallCondition="DotnetVersion &lt;= v7.0.4"
					bal:PrereqPackage="yes">
			<ExitCode Value="0" Behavior="success"/>
		</ExePackage>
	</PackageGroup>

`

I get following in the log file

`[115C:26BC][2023-05-05T14:48:13]i000: Unsetting variable 'DotnetVersion'

Looks like DotnetCoreSearch is not executing at all. Any ideas?

Drop InstallCondition. Burn does the right thing based on DetectCondition.

Thank you! Now it seems so obvious. I spent hours on it.
