If you need to install a different version of a particular file based on
the version of IE installed on a machine you could check the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > InternetExplorer > Version
Vector and then install files using a condition like so:
<Wix>
<Product>
...
<!-- Go find the IE version from the registry. -->
<Property Id="IE_VERSION">
<RegistrySearch Id="IE_VERSION"
Type="raw"
Root="HKLM"
Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InternetExplorer"
Name="Version Vector" />
</Property>
...
<Fragment>
<ComponentGroup>
<Component Id="WebConfigIE7">
<File Id="WebConfig"
Name="Web.config"
Source="Web.config.v7"
Vital="yes"
KeyPath="yes"/>
<Condition><![CDATA[IE_VERSION < "#8"]]></Condition>
</Component>
<!-- Install Web.config for IIS 8 or greater -->
<Component Id="WebConfigIE8">
<File Id="WebConfigIIS8"
Name="Web.config"
Source="Web.config.v8"
Vital="yes"
KeyPath="yes"/>
<Condition><![CDATA[IE_VERSION >= "#8"]]></Condition>
</Component>
<Fragment>
<Wix>
In this case I have two Web.config files stored in my project with
different names (.v7 & .v8) and based on what version of IE is found I
install the correct version of Web.config. Note that the 'Name' property
of the File installs the file without the .v7 or .v8 extension.
