Windows 8.1 and %WINVER%

Hey,

When i use %WINVER% by Windows 8.1 then is the result 4096.

Is not Windows 8.1 = 16384 ?


Common Definitions.sbi
$WIN_81$ = 16384

Best regards
Dirk

Yes, this is a bug in the runtime :-( and we have already fixed it. The
latest internal SB81 returns the correct value. The fix will be available
in the next maintenance build.

Unfortunately, the %WINVER% variable value is set too late (after processing
some internal fallback codes) and so it reports WIN8 for WIN81.

As a temporary workaround, you can use this method:

FIX : Installer: %WINVER% returned $WIN_8$ on Windows 8.1 and
$WIN_SERVER2012$ on Windows Server 2012 R2.

Question: is it possible to bring the target operation system 8.1 to the
file properties ?

Hi Dirk,

No, this is not possible. In all "Conditions" the target OS is named
"Windows 8.x" for the Windows 8 based OS type.
