Launch Condition : Windows OS service pack version with OS bit

Question

For a windows application I am creating a Deployment project in VS2010 . I want to add Launch Condition such as :

Setup should start on :

• Windows XP having Service Pack 3 For 32 bit

  OR

• Windows XP having Service Pack 2 For 64 bit

Currently I tried with Condition (VersionNT = "501") AND (ServicePackLevel = "3") but this condition only checks for Windows XP and Service Pack version 3 which works on 32bit Windows XP, but when I run on 64bit Windows XP It gives message that I have given.

So how can I check Windows version and Bit along with service pack version?

Answer 1

I achieved this by writing by this Launch Condition :

((VersionNT = "501") AND (Not VersionNT64) AND (ServicePackLevel = "3")) OR ((VersionNT = "501") AND (VersionNT64) AND (ServicePackLevel = "2"))

VersionNT and ServicePackLevel will check for Windows OS name and Service Pack version. read more @ https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370556%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

VersionNT64 means 64bit of OS and Not VersionNT64 OS is 32bit. read more @ http://blogs.flexerasoftware.com/installtalk/2010/11/using-msi-launch-conditions-to-prevent-installation-on-unsupported-windows-platforms.html
