How to determine whether dotnet and VSTORuntime is installed in WIX Bootstrapper

Question

i made a setup file of my Add-Ins project using wix. it has some dependencies like dotNet and VSTO Runtime. so I used Wix bootstrapper to confirm that dependencies must be installed before installing the product it works too. But i need conditional installation of dependencies like if dotNet and VSTO runtime is installed then don't look for install these items. i tried the registry searches too but didn't get success, here is my bootstrapper code tell me where i need to modify my code.

The issue was I forget to use value attribute which causes this problem. This was problem with rtf file, after changing the file it worked as expected. Here is the working version of code.
