There is a check box on the 'SetupCompleteSuccess' dialog box which when clicked opens the Reade File (in Notepad).

This worksfine on windows NT, Windows 2000 but it does NOT open the file on Windows XP.

Following is the condition associatd with the custom action.

LAUNCHREADME AND Not Installed AND VersionNT <=500

i want to know as to what condition should be added in order to fire the custom action on Windows XP machine, too.

i tried "VersionXP" but that did not work.

please help.
This is Urgent!.

For XP there is no extra VersionXP, it uses VersionNT because it's the successor of W2K. VersionNT has a value of 500 for W2K and 510 for XP.

BUT:
Why do you use a condition for showing a readme file dependent on the version of the operating system? If you want to show the readme only on NT and it's successors you could change your condition to

LAUNCHREADME AND Not Installed AND VersionNT

All Win9x versions (95, 98, ME) wouldn't show the readme with this condition.
