InstallAware

My app will run on all varieties of windows aprt from Windows 95 so I set the Minimum requirement to Win 98.

One of my users is running NT4 and is being kicked out. I had assumed that the hierarchy was

Win 95
Win 98
Win Me
NT4
etc.

If I set the minimum requirement to NT4 will this block Win 98 users or am I missing something?

Hi Ian

The hierarchy actually uses Windows version numbers. So it would be like:

95 - 4.0
NT4 - 4.0
98 - 4.1
ME - 4.9
2000 - 5.0
XP - 5.1
2003 - 5.2
Vista - 6.0

So you could keep your existing logic but add an extra IF to bypass the test if platform is NT.

Thanks Michael,

The only exclusion for me is Win 95 so setting the minimum to NT4 should do the trick. I can't see the need for an extra IF statement.

Yipee one less unhappy user!!

Actually, NT4 checks for 4.0, just like Win95...so you would want an additional IF, I believe.

Ah I see!
