Install based on OS

Hi

I am currently trying to package some software that will be run on windows XP and 7 however each OS requires different settings in the package, is there any IF statements I could use so that when running the package it could determine what OS its currently being installed on and run the correct settings required?

Check out the 'VersionNT' property on MSDN.

It looks like you're trying to test the condition in DOS/Command prompt? You can't do that, as the WI engine doesn't pass its properties to DOS. You need to create a Custom Action and use the VersionNT property to condition its execution.

If it were me, I'd be building a VBScript which uses Microsoft's rather good DACLS class to do the permissioning. That way, I get proper control and error-trapping.
