I'm assuming there isn't a simple check you could do based on VersionNT64 because you have a mix of 64 and 32 bit CAs, so...
The kind of thing you'd do at run time is the usual SQL query game. MsiGetActiveDatabase, MsiDatabaseOpenView() with a SQL Select that returns the component's attributes, then MsiRecordGetInteger() . --------------- Phil Wilson On Mon, Feb 3, 2014 at 7:29 AM, Phill Hogland <phogl...@rimage.com> wrote: > I understand that component attributes are bit flags.
