LaunchConditions and Advertisting
Hello,
I created and MSI which I only want to install on XP SP1 so I set a launch condition of ServicePackLevel = 1
No probs, when you try and click the advertsied shortcut on an SP2 machine it tells you to go away. However when I try and remove the advertised application via Add/Remove Programs it won't let me as it's processing the launch conditions...
I guess I need to set a condition on the LaunchConditions action in the InstallExecuteSequence table but am not sure what condition to set as the product is only advertised, not installed.
Haven't cracked it yet - does anyone have any ideas on how to get around this one?
Cheers,
Rob.

Thanks Loki, are you saying set a launch condition of:
If NOT Remove then [ServicePackLevel <= 1]
And forget setting a condition on the LaunchConditions action in the InstallExecuteSequence table? If so, how would that work?! If that's not what you mean, any chance you could elaborate a bit? [:)]

Well for anyone interested I fixed it by using the following condition on the LaunchConditions action in the InstallExecuteSequence table:
ProductState = 1 AND NOT REMOVE="ALL"
and a LaunchCondition of:
ServicePackLevel <= 1
If anyone knows of another way to skin this particular cat I'd be interested to hear it.
