The WiX 3.8 Burn built-in variables include some values that describe the operating system edition. One of these is NTSuitePersonal
. This variable is set to zero on an operating system where I would expect it to return as non-zero. This is preventing me from defining installation conditions for my application.
I wrote a little C# command line app to call GetVersionEx and retrieve an OSVERSIONINFOEX structure with the relevant flags. I'm running it on two machines. If I check the first machine, the System Information dialog shows the OS Name as "Microsoft Windows 8.1 Enterprise N". The command line output is as follows:
wSuiteMask & VER_SUITE_PERSONAL: 0x00000100 & 0x00000200 = 0x00000000
wSuiteMask & VER_SUITE_SINGLEUSERTS: 0x00000100 & 0x00000100 = 0x00000100
The second machine shows the OS Name as "Microsoft Windows 8.1", and it has the following output:
wSuiteMask & VER_SUITE_PERSONAL: 0x00000300 & 0x00000200 = 0x00000200
wSuiteMask & VER_SUITE_SINGLEUSERTS: 0x00000300 & 0x00000100 = 0x00000100
Based on this, I would expect the NTSuitePersonal
WiX Burn built-in variable to be non-zero on the second machine, but it is set to zero on both. Here is what I see in my log file:
Variable: NTSuitePersonal = 0
Have I overlooked something, or is this a defect in Burn?
For reference, the full text of my command line app follows:

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
namespace OperatingSystemInfoSandbox

public string szCSDVersion;
public UInt16 wServicePackMajor;
public UInt16 wServicePackMinor;
public UInt16 wSuiteMask;
public byte wProductType;
public byte wReserved;
public OSVERSIONINFOEX()
{
this.dwOSVersionInfoSize = (int)Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(OSVERSIONINFOEX));
}
}
[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
[DllImport("kernel32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)]
public static extern bool GetVersionEx([In, Out] OSVERSIONINFOEX osvi);
public const UInt16 VER_SUITE_PERSONAL = 0x00000200;
public const UInt16 VER_SUITE_SINGLEUSERTS = 0x00000100;
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var osvi = new OSVERSIONINFOEX();
GetVersionEx(osvi);
Console.WriteLine("wSuiteMask & VER_SUITE_PERSONAL: 0x{0:x8} & 0x{1:x8} = 0x{2:x8}",
osvi.wSuiteMask, VER_SUITE_PERSONAL, osvi.wSuiteMask & VER_SUITE_PERSONAL);
Console.WriteLine("wSuiteMask & VER_SUITE_SINGLEUSERTS: 0x{0:x8} & 0x{1:x8} = 0x{2:x8}",
osvi.wSuiteMask, VER_SUITE_SINGLEUSERTS, osvi.wSuiteMask & VER_SUITE_SINGLEUSERTS);
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
Please file a bug. Looks like it doesn't properly check the mask.
