I'm trying to add the .NET 2.0 runtime to a migrated InstallScript project. I would prefer not to have to include the full redistributable, but just have it download at install time if needed.
I see the .net 2.0 prerequisite in the Prerequisite Editor. I don't see any .Net 2.0 Objects under "Application data" / objects. From the help, I see that I should be able to add a prerequisite under "Application Data" / Redistributables , but there is no "Redistributables" item under "Application data".
How do I show the Redistributables item under "Application data"?
Answer: Install the 900-some megabyte (something) .net objects(something) from the updater, and then Microsoft .NET will show up in the Objects list.
Nothing explains the InstallShield Updater list of downloads, what they do, and why they might be needed. And nothing explains why the .NET libraries showed up in the list of prerequisites but not the objects.
