Server 2008 Requirement removed - a Bug or why?

[JimmiLee]

I have a 32bit Std. MSI project which has as a requirement that Server 2008 or 2003 is the OS.
Whenever I build my project now, the tick in the requirement for Server 2008 is removed automatically !!!
It used to work perfectly, but then I was playing around with a VD that wouldn't install into a sub folder on Server 2008 and suddenly this issue started!
I've reversed the IIS settings, but the issue remains . . .

This must be some kind of bug - or ? ? ?

I'm not sure what's up with the checkboxes, but it sounds like your launch condition might be expressed as: VersionNT >= 502 AND MsiNTProductType = 3

Ok, but since this is a Basic MSI Project, where do I go about finding the launch condition to check if it might be expressed as: VersionNT >= 502 AND MsiNTProductType = 3 ???
Seeing as how the checkboxes themselves don't tell me anything . . .

Here's my installation log (the last bit):

Look in the General Information view (Installation Designer tab) for Install Conditions.

[JimmiLee]

(Not Version9X) And (Not VersionNT=400) And (Not VersionNT=500) And (Not VersionNT=501) And (Not (VersionNT=600 And (MsiNTProductType=1)))

This is my condition for OS (above) and it correctly states to the box to the right from this condition that the application can only run on a 2003 or 2008 OS machine, even when the check mark for 2008 has been removed!
Weird . . .

[JimmiLee]

I solved the issue, though I'm not entirely sure what made a difference.
I removed an empty condition that simply stated REGVERSION . . .
Then I tried adding Server 2000 to the list and then removed it again, to see what happened to the OS condition . . . Furthermore I finally got my license key, so I'm not running a trial version (was running out tomorrow) . . .

Then I build it again and the issue was gone ! ! !
Strange . . .
