how can I conditionally install a merge module based upon a feature
condition (want to install if windows nt or windows 2000 or windows 9x)? I
select a feature condition in wise installer for windows 7.0 sp1 and it says
"you cannot add a merge module based on a condition. select the feature
itself to add a module)

i need to conditionally install msxml3 only on w2k and nt4 and any 9x

i'm trying to find the latest merge module for msxml 4 - looks like i can
only find msxml4sp7 on website although there's references to msxml4sp9 but
no download links

i add msxml3 to all my installs regardless as a base minimum.
i dont see a downside.
i dont specifically call any specific version.
but i'm only using some basic features that all versions will have.

The reason why I'm trying to not install msxml3 is because for some reason
my install fails on some 64 bit systems and i thought it would be good to
not have unneccesary things run in the installer in case msft's merge
modules were the culprit

interesting. i had not installed my setup on a 64-bit system yet.
my only 64-bit system is a development setup with full foxpro install.
