Subject: [WiX-users] Problems with Wix3.5 detecting Windows Installer
3.1

Today I had problems with a WIX 3.5 based msi when installing on Windows
2000 and XP SP3. On the Windows 2000 machine I had manually installed
Windows Installer 3.1 V2 (so I could manually install .NET Framework
V2). The XP machine already had Windows Installer 3.1. I checked the
MSI.dll in Windows\system32 and both the 2000 and XP machines had V3.1.
My WIX installer included a line like this:

<Package InstallerVersion="310"

Because I had manually installed Windows Installer 3.1 on 2000 and it's
already present on XP I was expecting this InstallerVersion value would
have allowed the installation to proceed. Unfortunately the installer
would not start and stated it needed a newer version of MSI. I got
around the problem by changing InstallerVersion="200". This allowed both
installs to complete.

Is there an issue detecting the version of Windows Installer on 2000/XP
machines? 
Any idea why my installer failed to run?

Regards,

Andrew Jones
