I vote for Number 2, "cannot be installed". Number 1 seems to imply it can be installed but won't run. I would prefer to just block the install at that point.
Number 3 is too "lawyer speak" for me. Just my opinion, though. -- John Merryweather Cooper Build & Install Engineer - jXchange Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.® Shawnee Mission, KS 66227 Office: 913-341-3434 x791011 jocoo...@jackhenry.com www.jackhenry.com ________________________________________ From: Bob Arnson [b...@joyofsetup.com] Sent: Friday, June 06, 2014 3:49 PM To: wix-devs@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-devs] Wordsmithery Re pull request https://github.com/wixtoolset/wix3/pull/59, Sean adds a message that's shown when .NET 4.5.2 is running on Win7 RTM: [WixBundleName] cannot run on Windows 7 RTM with .NET 4.5.2 (or greater) installed. I don't like that it almost-but-not-quite blames the product being installed. I'd also like to see a root cause. The latter we could do in the log message instead of visible to the user, if someone objected to that. Here are some random alternatives: [WixBundleName] cannot run because .NET 4.5.2 is not supported on Windows 7 RTM. [WixBundleName] cannot be installed because .NET 4.5.2 is not supported on Windows 7 RTM. [WixBundleName] is not supported on Windows 7 RTM with .NET 4.5.2. None of these is great; it's hard to be pithy about weird-ass bugs. I do want to drop "(or greater)" because I expect it to not be a problem for future .NET releases. Anyone else have opinions? Or care? -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
