Based on that, the x86 version should support install on XP with SP2 or SP3. The binaries do not appear to be managed code, so I don't think .NET 4.5 is an issue. -- John Merryweather Cooper Build & Install Engineer - ESA Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.® Shawnee Mission, KS 66227 Office: 913-341-3434 x791011 [email protected] www.jackhenry.com -----Original Message----- From: John Cooper Sent: Friday, January 25, 2013 11:16 AM To: [email protected]; General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

If there are any .NET 4.5 dependencies, it will be a no-go on anything before Windows 7. -- John Merryweather Cooper Build & Install Engineer - ESA Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.® Shawnee Mission, KS 66227 Office: 913-341-3434 x791011 [email protected] www.jackhenry.com -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Painter [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, January 25, 2013 11:07 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.; [email protected] Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Custom actions failing on XP Sorry, haven't read the whole thread.... Didn't I read somewhere that VS2012 C++ doesn't support Windows XP? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13492056/vs2012-c-dll-compatability ---------------------------------------- From: "Natalie Carr" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, January 25, 2013 4:39 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [WiX-users] Custom actions failing on XP Hi along with my wix installer I have a dll created using the C++ custom action project. However on running my setup on XP the custom actions are all returning value 3 and failing. I believe they are not even getting entered as the logs don't show them being initialized. I need help asap as I have to resolve this quickly. Anyone any ideas what could be wrong? Please I am using VS2012 if that could be the issue.
