Hi,
I'm having a few troubles getting this what would seem to be simple install condition working...I would only like to run the setup on Win9x / Nt4(sp6) / Win2k (sp1).  Here is the condition string I am using:

Version9X OR (VersionNT=400 And ServicePackLevel>=6) Or (VersionNT=500 And ServicePackLevel>=1)

The only other conditon i have is AdminUser

Thanks
Tony

The only obvious problem with your condition is that it won't install on post-Win2000 operating systems, like Windows XP (aka Whistler). But that may be intentional. What is your problem?

Thanks for your reply. The problem is that i get a build error: ** Error -3016: Error building LaunchCondition table , and so none of the conditions take effect.

Hi, Tony.
Have you tried compiling it without the second condition of AdminUser?
How about concatenating the AdminUser condition onto the end of first condition?
Just some ideas. I think I saw this myself once.

Did you provide a text for the error message in case the condition is not met? For all languages in your project? Error -3016 can happen if for any language the error text is empty.

Hi,
I am using Installshield developer 8. Somehow my launch conditions do not seem to make any difference. The MSI does not pop up any error and the installation just goes through. I am trying to block installation for OS'es other than 9x. So i have put my condition as Version9X. This does not seem to make any difference.
Any clues?
Regards,
Ram

You could open the generated .msi file with Orca to verify the LaunchCondition tabel entry.
Also make sure that the LaunchConditions action is in both the UI and Execute sequences and doesn#t have a condition.
Then you can generate a log to see what's going on.
