New Post: how to detect in a client a newest version already installed of a package

Unfortunately FireFox doesn't make this easy as best I can tell. I will be doing this as well very soon and have been pondering a few ideas...

What seems to be the biggest pain for me at the moment is how Mozilla puts the version in the key itself
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Mozilla Firefox 28.0 (x86 en-US)
And the "DisplayVersion" key doesn't quite fit the format described in the "Reg Sz To Version Registry Key" rule type in Package Publisher which allows you to do less than & greater than comparisons.
You might try this rule with the "MozillaMaintenanceService" key which appears to share a DisplayVersion
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\MozillaMaintenanceService

I haven't had a chance to test this theory that it will work yet but it might do the trick for you.
