How can I prevent installation on Windows IOT?

Thu Dec 14, 2023 4:56 pm

Our software runs fine on Windows 10 and Windows 11 but there is something about the "IOT" versions of these that prevents us from running. Either some critical windows DLL is missing or it is present but lacking some functions that we call.

Is there any way in Advanced Installer to make it specify the non-IOT versions of these only and to prevent install? I didn't see a specific checkbox for it. Or maybe there's a script I could write?

Hello,

Unfortunately, we do not have predefined launch conditions for this. However, you can achieve this with a script and a custom launch condition.

Based on the result of your script, you can set a property that can further be used as a condition for your launch condition.

For more details about this approach, please see the Launch condition to prevent install with older versions of Access forum thread.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Best regards,
Liviu
