Well, I didn't say without fault, just interesting. As you say, Microsoft is free to change the playing field at any time. And they often do. It'd probably start looking at a CA to accomplish since there doesn't seem to be a pat method.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Detecting Server 2008 Core MsiNTProductType only tells whether it is a workstation, server or domain controller.
