How to check the system is Windows 7 or Windows Se

问题:

I am working on a windows installer project. And now I only want the software only can be installed on Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 system, I tried to use this:

<Condition Message='Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7 is required'>(VersionNT = 600 AND ServicePackLevel = 1) OR VersionNT = 601 </Condition>

but it can still be installed on Windows Vista. Please help!

Thank you!

Just check for VersionNT 601 or newer, Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 both have the same value.

<Condition Message="Win7 or 2008 R2 required"><![CDATA[Installed OR VersionNT >= 601]]></Condition>

You can use the MsiNTProductType property to detect if it is a server os. In combination with the NT version check you can check if you have Windows Server 2008R2. This would look like the following:

<Condition Message="Windows Server 2008R2 required">
  <![CDATA[(VersionNT = 601 AND MsiNTProductType > 1) OR Installed]]>
</Condition>

Vista and Server 2008 pre-SP2 have the same major version number. You also need to look for the Wix equivalent to 'VER_NT_SERVER' (InstallShield). (at work now, don't have Wix installed here)
