problems changing project schema from 300 to 310

Hi,

I build basic msi projects using IS2008. I want to require a minimum version of the windows installer service of 3.1. So when I change my schema from 300 to 310, my project no longer installs. It stops very early before the "welcome dialog" and tells me that I "...must install a windows service pack that contains a newer version of the windows installer service.".

If I go look at the msi.dll on my computer, it shows version 3.1.4000.4039.

So, it looks like I already have msi 3.1. Why won't my project install anymore? If I change schema back to 300 it works fine. But with 310 I get that message above.

I have generated a verbose log and it ends with error 1613.

Is there something I'm missing? Please help! This has me really stumped. Things have been fine otherwise for years.

Thanks very much.

You need to use schema 301, not 310 to check for Windows Installer 3.1.
