Checking for MTS

[Harish]

Hi,

How do i check for MTS MAJOR version=131072 & MINOR version=532 or greater than that. From registry we can the value of MTS at the following path.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Transaction Server\Setup(OCM)\Product Version\major
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Transaction Server\Setup(OCM)\Product Version\minor.


Thanks,

Hi,

If you need to abort the installation if the specified version of MTS is not available, then you can use a Launch Condition and 2 Registry Searches:

1. Use the Search Wizard to create each Registry Search. Name the 2 properties that will hold the result "MTS_MAJOR" and "MTS_MINOR", respectively.

2. In the Launch Conditions page, click the "New" button. Set the Condition to:

Code: Select all

(MTS_MAJOR = "131072") AND (MTS_MINOR >= "532")

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Denis

Hi,

Is this the Launch Condition error message? If not, please give me more details about this error.

It might be helpful to see the value of your properties before the Launch Condition is executed. In order to do this add 2 "Script Inline" Custom Action on the "AppSearch" Standard Action from the InstallUISequence (not InstallExecuteSequence, because it would be too late). Set the Script Text to:

Code: Select all

MsgBox Session.Property("MTS_MAJOR")

and respectively:

Code: Select all

MsgBox Session.Property("MTS_MINOR")
