Greg,

Check out the netfxutil extension. It includes many properties, including the 
directories for various versions of the framework. The help file has a how to 
on using it to get the framework version, and that is similar to using it for 
the directory. All the available properties are in the help file as well.

Subject: [WiX-users] Building msi across OS's


Hi,

Question from a wix newbie.

I ran into the following issue:

I am building an msi in Vista (let's just say client) that could be installed 
either on Vista (client) or Win 2003 Server OS.  One of the issues was that the 
framework resides under C:\WINNT in the server OS, and under C:\Windows in 
client (vista in my case).

Apparently, any environment variables in wxs are resolved at compile, not run 
time.  Is the only way to make it possible to use one MSI to do a CustomAction 
that first determines which of the OS's I'm running on and then attempt to set 
the property?  Is that even possible?

Thanks for any tips :)
-greg
