I tried it, however it doesn't work fully for my case. Besides the OS version, I also need to check the architecture of the OS. I want to block 64 bit package to be installed on a 32 bit OS. If I set the condition, the installation will be blocked, however, I didn't see I can customize the error, I always get "The specified program requires a newer version of Windows."
For the bundle\@condition, is that possible I can customize the error message? Or, any other way to do it?
