Just like Rob stated, use: <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"; xmlns:bal="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/BalExtension";> <Bundle ...> <bal:Condition Message="Your error message about the OS goes here.">VersionNT >= v5.0</bal:Condition> </Bundle>
And ensure your project has a reference to WixBalExtension.dll. The underlying problem is you missed the documentation on the Bundle/@Condition The condition of the bundle. If the condition is not met, the bundle will refuse to run. Conditions are checked before the bootstrapper application is loaded (before detect), and thus can only reference built-in variables such as variables which indicate the version of the OS. And the documentation on the Burn built in variables: VersionNT - version value representing the OS version. The result is a version variable (v#.#.#.#) which differs from the MSI Property 'VersionNT' which is an integer. For example, to use this variable in a Bundle condition try: "VersionNT > v6.1" -----Original Message----- From: Nick Ramirez [mailto:nickra...@hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2012 9:51 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Burn conditions I tried setting a condition: /<Bundle Name="My Software" Condition="VersionNT >= 500" ...>/ But it always evaluates as false. /Condition 'VersionNT >= 500' evaluates to false. Bundle global condition check didn't succeed - aborting without loading application./ A Windows 7 machine should have a VersionNT property greater than 500. In fact, even setting Condition="true" evaluates to false. /Condition 'true' evaluates to false. Bundle global condition check didn't succeed - aborting without loading application./ Is there a special syntax to use here? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Burn-conditions-tp7580784p7580872.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
