Alvaro,

How to find out the "GUID" of installed assembly?

Which GUID do you have in mind, and what do you need it for?

Two ways:

theAssembly.GetCustomAttributes(GetType(GuidAttribute))
or
Marshal.GetTypeLibGuidForAssembly(theAssembly)

Mattias,

I'm developing an application that loads data from database Oracle and to SqlServer.

For the obtaining of data from database Oracle, I'm using the assembly Oracle.DataAccess.DLL that is to driver for oracle and must be installed like requirement of my application.

In setup project I'm adding a "Launch Condition" and require ComponentId (GUID) of Oracle.DataAccess.DLL like valid value of the condition.

I'm no setup expert but this page

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/f09xywha(VS.80).aspx

recommends using a tool such as MSI Spy to determine the Component ID
of an installed component. Note that this GUID is part of the MSI
package, it's not really a property of the assembly.
