Which effectively means that that cab would not install when OSVersion = 6.00 !!! <parm name="*ProcessorType*" value="*2577*" /> <parm name="*OSVersionMin*" value="*4.0*" /> <parm name="*OSVersionMax*" value="*5.99*" /> <parm name="*BuildNumberMin*" value="*0*" /> <parm name="*BuildNumberMax*" value="*-536870912*" /> Don't know enough of Windows development to say for sure. -- regards, Banibrata http://www.linkedin.com/in/bdutta http://twitter.com/edgeliving
