Blocking install on XP

Hi,

We need to block installation of our application on XP (XP is no longer supported by the new MS tools).

Under Launch Conditions, Supported Operating systems I have unticked everything older than visa, both 32 and 64-bit, however the installer still installs on XP.

Re: Blocking install on XP

Hello Nick,

I've tested your scenario, but I cannot reproduce the behavior. Can you attach a sample project which reproduce the behavior so we can investigate it?

Also, please keep in mind that if your project contains pre-install prerequisite packages, then you can enable the "Check predefined launch conditions before searching for prerequisites" option from "Prerequisites" page in order to stop the installation before the global prerequisite installation.

All the best,
Daniel

"Check predefined launch conditions before searching for prerequisites" - change made.

Then stumbled on the issue - we have multiple build targets and I only changed the launch conditions on the first target.

Thanks for your help
