Install conditions for Windows XP blocking XP x64?
Hello,
I used the setup assistant to specify that my installation could not be installed on servers, i.e. I checked Windows 7, XP, Vista, and 2000. The condition created appears to be:
(Not VersionNT=502) And (Not (VersionNT=600 And Not (MsiNTProductType=1))) And (Not (VersionNT=601 And Not (MsiNTProductType=1)))
I have a customer running the information below and he is getting the message that his system is not supported, i.e. it's being blocked by the above conditions.
[System Summary] Item Value OS Name Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP Professional x64 Edition Version 5.2.3790 Service Pack 2 Build 3790 Other OS Description Not Available OS Manufacturer Microsoft Corporation System Name System Manufacturer MSI System Model MS-7280 System Type x64-based PC Processor AMD64 Family 15 Model 67 Stepping 2 AuthenticAMD ~2871 Mhz Processor AMD64 Family 15 Model 67 Stepping 2 AuthenticAMD ~2871 Mhz BIOS Version/Date American Megatrends Inc.

Anyone know why the "XP" setting is not covering his system?
You are right! This install condition will block your installation on Windows XP Pro x64!
Windows XP Pro x64 returns VersionNT = 502, same as Windows Server 2003. It is because Windows XP Pro x64 was built from the same code base as Windows Server 2003.

So what about this condition?
(Not (VersionNT=502 And Not(MsiNTProductType=1))) And (Not (VersionNT=600 And Not (MsiNTProductType=1))) And (Not (VersionNT=601 And Not (MsiNTProductType=1)))
It should allow installation on Windows XP Pro x64, but block it on Windows Server 2003.
