Hi all,

Using basic MSI (isd 2009), I need to enable installation only if the OS is 64 bit, WIN SERVER 2008 R2 SP1.
I successfully use this code to detect WIN SERVER 2008 R2 on 64 bit:

if (svVersionNT64 =="601") then// 64 BIT, win server 2008 R2 or WIN7
if (!(SYSINFO.nOSProductType == VER_NT_WORKSTATION)) then //server

but when I debug this: if (SYSINFO.WINNT.nServicePack >= 1)
I get false value, although the target machine has SP1 installed.

Any suggestions for checking the SP value correctly on WIN SERVER 2008 R2?

Thanks!
Sharon.

Why are you using InstallScript for this? Please try the built in properties like ServicePackLevel, VersionNT64, MsiNTProductType etc.

Thanks a lot Stefan!

I am now using ServicePackLevel.

This was very helpful.
