It wasn't obvious to me that the PageCountSummary property is the same as the packa...@installerversion property. I admit I am new to WiX, but I think it might be beneficial if there were a more direct linking between the two properties, or at least the documentation for the two properties.
Still, I would like to thank you for the help and clarification. -SteveL p.s. Searching the WiX documentation for "Page Count Summary" or "PageCountSummary" returns no hits. Similarly, searching the MSDN documentation for InstallerVersion returns lots of hits, but as far as I can tell all of those hits are examples, not property-specific documentation. -----Original Message----- From: Blair [mailto:os...@live.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 01, 2009 12:34 PM To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.'

For a minimum of Windows Installer 3.1, this property must be set to 301. For a minimum of Windows Installer 4.5, this property must be set to 405. For a minimum of Windows Installer 5.0, this property must be set to 500." This one paragraph answers both of your questions, Steve. -----Original Message----- From: Neil Sleightholm [mailto:n...@x2systems.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 01, 2009 10:22 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] packa...@installerversion >> I thought this property is used to enforce the minimum version of Windows Installer required to run the MSI. Yes that is correct. The number is calculated as major * 100 + minor. So 2.0 is 200, 3.0 is 300, 4.5 is 405 and 5.0 is 500.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] packa...@installerversion Maybe I am have the wrong impression of what this property is used for. I thought this property is used to enforce the minimum version of Windows Installer required to run the MSI. Is that not correct? If it is correct, what are the possible values for currently released versions of Windows Installer? In most examples I've found the values are 200 or 300. Is 450 the correct value for Windows Installer 4.5? Is 500 the correct value for Windows Installer 5.0? -----Original Message----- From: Blair [mailto:os...@live.com] Sent: Monday, August 31, 2009 8:51 PM To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.'

The InstallerVersion attribute populates the "Page Count Summary Property" (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370570(VS.85).aspx) (aka, the Minimum Installer Version) of MSI files. According to (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372045(VS.85).aspx) it is of type VT_I4 (aka 32-bit signed integer). -----Original Message----- From: Steve Lessard [mailto:sless...@microsoft.com] Sent: Monday, August 31, 2009 6:54 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] packa...@installerversion ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
