The software I develop has an installation requirement of running only
on Windows 2000, XP, and Vista.  To enforce this requirement, I have a
Condition clause on the Product element of my top-level WiX file like
so:

 

    <Condition Message="[ProductName] is only supported on Windows 2000,
XP (32-bit), or Vista (32-bit)">VersionNT &gt;= 500</Condition>

 

This appears to work correctly on my Windows 2000 development test
machine as well as at least some other Windows 2000 installations in the
field.  However, one user is reporting that the installer refuses to run
on his Windows 2000 machine, version 5.00.2195, Service Pack 4.  He has
sent me screenshots of the dialogs involved, and I am certain that this
dialog is being triggered.  He also appears to be running Windows 2000
(albeit localized for Germany).  What would cause this test to pass on
some Win2K machines but not others?

 

I am using WiX 2.0.5808 and the build machine is running Windows XP
Professional (32-bit), with SP 2.

 

Thanks,
