Thanks Rob. I submitted a bug for this. I don't expect any of the Wix toolset to work on Windows 2000. If it does, that's great, but obviously not a requirement. I'd rather have all the other cool stuff you guys do, rather than making the build tools work on Windows 2000. I haven't seen any other issues running setupexe wrapper on that platform and I have a couple setup's using it right now.
I made the fix on my copy of the source code for setupexe and everything runs fine there for me.

That's how these bugs slip by. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rob Mensching Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2008 08:32 To: Michael Ballou; wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] setupexe and CompareString on Windows 2000 Bug. We don't work on Win2000 much anymore but in general this should work. Honestly, I missed that comment in the documentation. Please, do open a bug on it so we can ensure it gets fixed... and maybe I should start looking around for a Win2k VHD. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Ballou Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2008 11:33 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] setupexe and CompareString on Windows 2000 I know there were some discussions before regarding the proper use of CompareString() in the Wix sources, but I can't seem to find them. I found a problem running the setupexe.exe in Wix on Windows 2000. The command line parsing which uses CompareString is failing because of the LOCALE_INVARIANT which apparently is only available on Windows XP and higher. According to MSDN it should be like this: On Windows XP and later: CompareString(LOCALE_INVARIANT, NORM_IGNORECASE, mystr, -1, _T("InLap"), -1); For earlier operating systems: DWORD lcid = MAKELCID(MAKELANGID(LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US), SORT_DEFAULT); CompareString(lcid, NORM_IGNORECASE, mystr, -1, _T("InLap"), -1); Is this a bug in Wix, or was it designed this way?
