Download URL for ASP.NET 1.1 dotnetfx.exe - To make a Prerequisite

[rob_wheadon]

Hello,

I am making an Install Package for an application which uses both ASP.NET 1.1 and 2.0.

In the releases .NET/J# view I can get people to download ASP.NET 2.0 from the Web if they haven't got it. But I also want them to be able to download 1.1 - so I have made a prerequisite file to do this.

What is the URL for downloading the ASP.NET 1.1 dotnetfx.exe file from a prerequisite?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Robert

Ok. I have made some progress with this one.

I download the dotnetfx.exe file from this address:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/a/a/c/aac39226-8825-44ce-90e3-bf8203e74006/dotnetfx.exe

Now I am getting this error after the dotnetfx.exe file has been downloaded.

The files for the installation requirement Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 could not be fould. The installation will now stop. This is probably due to a failed, or cancelled download.

What could be going wrong here?

Regards,

Robert

OK. My prerequisite works now!

It turns out that the problem was with the checksum in the prerequisite file. The dotnetfx.exe file on my local drive was slightly different to the one I was downloading from Microsoft, so Installsheild was rejecting the file just after it was downloaded.

To fix the problem:

1) I downloaded the dotnetfx.exe from download.microsoft.com
2) Recreated the .prq file for ASP.NET 1.1 so a new checksum was calculated
3) Updated my install package

So when I run the install package it downloads .NET 1.1 (if required) and installs it.
