We're running 4.12.0.0 and I was wondering if there is a @productype for this version?

I see there's a reference in later versions for Windows 7 but we've not tested these as yet.

Thanks

According to the manual that comes with the 4.12 download @producttype is available in 4.12 but it does not support Windows 7.

 Quote:

“Windows 95”
“Windows 98”

hmm... that old version seems to say xp on win7.

there is a work around to this but probably more complex than just updating the kix to a more recent version.

I did like 4.12 though. one of my favorites.

hmm too.

I'm playing with this code so I can run an installer only on domain pc's that are running Windows 7 but it aint working

 Code:
If instr(@producttype,"Server") or instr(@producttype,"Domain Controller") or instr(@producttype,"Windows XP Professional")
;	RUN "\\IE9\IE9-Windows7-x86-enu.exe"
	?"Don't do anything"
		else
;		?"Don't do anything"
		run "\\IE9\IE9-Windows7-x86-enu.exe"
endif


Trying something as a workaround

because with what I just posted, that in that old version, "xp professional" also excludes win7 and vista.
just replace the whole line with:
 Code:
if instr(ReadValue($Server + "HKEY_Local_Machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion", "ProductName"),"windows 7")
