Building conditional statement

[CChong]

I would like to build conditional statement for a component.

I would like certain component to run on 2000 and another component on XP. Does anybody have a syntax on how to do it.

Please see the MSI Help Library page "Operating System Propery Values": for Windows 2000, the condition would be:

VersionNT=500

For Windows XP:

VersionNT=501

If you have a copy of Administrator's Introduction to Application Repackaging and Software Deployment using Windows Installer (www.installshield.com/ispress), this is discussed in Chapter 8, esp. pp. 206-8...

Yes, that's our hope, that it will teach you what you need to know about MSI and AdminStudio; you can see the table of contents here: http://www.installshield.com/ispress/application-repackaging/default.asp.
