Domain Controller is not server ?

Let it be :-)

This is not exactly a bug. A domain controller is - from a Windows Installer viewpoint - neither a workstation (MsiNTProductType = 1) nor a server (MsiNTProductType = 3). You may not agree and think that a domain controller is a server, but it isn't considered as such in the Windows Installer nomenclature, and it has its own value - which is 2, as you discovered. If you need to control the possibility of installation on a domain server platform, then you need to add the option in the Conditions manually, or edit the comparison like you did.

Details: MsiNTProductType property

Hi,

In "launch Condition" - I select the server 2008 and 2008 R2.
When I tried to run the MSI from Server 2008 Domain Controller, I got message which told me the OS is not supported.

Looking in WIX file I found the MsiNTProductType=3
I think this is a bug. You must set this value MsiNTProductType >= 2
Because Domain Controller [DC] is server.

Thanks,
Didi
