Anything that's protected by Windows in one version should have an official installer or merge module for other Windows versions. Use that. It's got the correct setup logic in it. If you say exactly what you're trying to do I could be more helpful.
Also, by using the official installer, Microsoft can patch the product if there's a bug (security or otherwise) in it. Don't expose your users to security problems by breaking the detection logic. If the installer is running on Windows 2000, the VersionNT property is set to 500. For XP it's 501, Server 2003 is 502 and Windows Vista is 600. See 'Operating System Property Values' in the Windows Installer SDK. -- Mike Dimmick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Craig0ss Sent: 07 November 2007 11:59 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Files protected by windows hi guys when im installing on win2k i get errors saying that the file being copied is being protected by windows, these files are going into the system32 folder, these files already exist on win2k but not not on others likw xp, will i need to diable these files being installed to a win2k system?
