hide a feature depend on the Windows type at MSI project

[lshadmi]

Hi,

I am using Install Shield Pro 2016 and MSI project.

I have a root feature with the level = 101

This feature have sub features with level = 1.

What I need to do is to hide a sub feature if the Windows is under 10.

I tried to add a condition to the feature like this:

Level=0, condition= VersionNT<=603 but as a result I do not see the feature at Window 10 so this is not working...

Any help will be very helpful to me.

Thanks

Hi @lshadmi ,

Can you see the condition is working if you put the version number in double quotes, you can get the example from the below article for Install condition:

I just run a small test with new msi project and label that show the value of the VersionNT and on Windows 10 I get 603

isn't 603 supposed to be for Windows 8.1?

Hi @lshadmi ,

When you install an .msi installation package on Windows 10, Windows Server 2016 or Windows Server 2019, the VersionNT value is 603.

you can have your own custom action to see whether it is windows 10/windows 2019 by checking the build number of targeting operating system.
