Microsoft no longer provides any continuing support for any Win9x OS, but according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Installer MSI 2.0 was released for 95/98/Me (along with NT 4.0 SP6 and all service packs of Win2k). If the user already has MSI 2.0 installed, then your installation will succeed. If they don't, they will get an error message indicating that the package is not supported on their system. If you use a bootstrapper, you can verify the MSI version first and either install or offer to install the newer MSI before attempting to install your product.
The installer exe for MSI 2.0 for 9x can be obtained navigating from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=cebb acd8-c094-4255-b702-de3bb768148f The installer exe for MSI 2.0 for NT 4.0 and Win2k can be obtained navigating from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=4b61 40f9-2d36-4977-8fa1-6f8a0f5dca8f Use your favorite bootstrapping program. -Blair -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan Hartley [mailto:tart...@tartley.com] Sent: Thursday, September 24, 2009 4:56 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] warning LGHT1076: ICE68 when adding ngen step to installed .dll files Thanks Blair, We might need to support early versions of Windows. - we're writing a downloadable desktop application for widespread use. What happens to Me and earlier users who try to install when we use installerVersion 200? Are they unable to install? Thanks for the pointers, I'll go read about this.
