Hello Clarke8032 I have been continuously looking for a way to install the windows installer 3.1 in windows 10. As i can see you faced the same problem earlier.

Windows Installer 3.1 now correctly handles the scenario where a minor update package is installed when an obsolete or superseded patch also exists. Windows Installer 3.1 now supports application of patches for packages that have large numbers of files. (Sequence column of File table includes values larger than 32767.). If you're not relying on Windows Update as the source for installing the.NET Framework 3.5, you must ensure to strictly use sources from the same corresponding Windows operating system version. Using a source path that doesn't correspond to the same version of Windows won't prevent a mismatched version of.NET Framework 3.5 from being installed.

I need to know this since this is a pre-req for .NET 3.5 and if I'm including the .NET bootstrapper, I should also see if Windows Installer 3.1 is needed.

Right now I'm checking for the registry key:

Which will check for Windows Installer 3.1 but I suspect it doesn't check for higher versions. (Haven't been able to confirm or deny that)

What registry key should I look at to find this information?

Edit: I need to check this in Inno Setup which is what I'm using as my bootstrapper, and I'm not sure how to check a dll version in there.

locate the installer msi.dll with this registry path:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInstaller

value: InstallerLocation

then get the version information from that file.

update:the way above is old!new way to detect the version is documented here:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368280%28VS.85%29.aspx

On the 'Run' window, type 'msiexec'. A window will come up showing the Windows Installer version on the first line.

If you want to check the version of the Windows Installer on your system, check the version of MSI.DLL in the WindowsSystem 32 folder.

Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1

Right click on MSI.DLL , select properties -> go to Details tab and check file version.

If this is inside the MSI file itself, you can check for the VersionMsi property.
