Hi,

what I need to do is, enforce my installer not to install latest version of Windows Installer and let remain the one in client's machine.

How do I do that? I am not sure the basic version is 1.0 or 1.2, but whatever it is, I need to leave that one as it is since I do not need latest version's functionality, and so by avoiding installing latest version, I want to minimize installation time.

thanks
Kaushal Shah

there are a set of tools provided by MS in their SDK that provide the command line functionality of orca.  

if you use the MSIInfo.EXE program you will be able to change the "Minimum Installer Version" for your package.  This value is stored in the Summary Information Stream of your package.

ie. MSIInfo {your msi} /g 120 will set the min. MSI engine to 1.2

i believe if you change your current value of 2.0 ( 200 ) with 1.2 ( 120 ) it might work...
