To get a feel for how wix works, I created an installer project which
produces an .msi file. It includes conditions at the Product level (are
those launch conditions?) that check for os version and .net version,
exiting the install if the condition is not met.  I'll convert that project
into a merge module project and would like to do the same checks. Would I
need to put the condition checks on each feature to be installed?

Are you talking about LaunchConditions, Feature conditions, or Component
conditions?

You can't "isolate" your merge module parts in a final MSI very easily, but
you should be able to condition any/all of your components and/or custom
actions your merge module contributes.

I'm creating a merge module for inclusion in another company's msi package.
It does not appear to be possible to put conditions (such as checking
operating system version or .net installed version) in the merge module.
How is that generally handled?

 

Thanks.
