You might need to get the latest WDK from Microsoft, which ships with the DIFxApp.wixlib. It's possible that WiX isn't including the most recent DIFxApp redist. We do our builds with the wixlib from the WDK and not what comes with WiX, just in case the WDK has something newer. You might try that and see if it helps.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] DIFXAPP: ERROR - The operating system you are running on is not supported. WiX supports all operating systems. It sounds like DIFXApp does not. DIFXApp was written by the DIFXApp team. You need to follow up with them to get it fixed. Kinda' funny that it refers to "codenamed Longhorn" as well. Someone at MSFT should probably be bopped for that. <smile/> June Bell wrote: > Hi, > > I used WiX v3.0 RC2 build (v3.0.5217.0) to build my installation package.
