Include Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 prerequisite
Hi,
the .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 prerequisite requieres windows installer 3.1. But there is no installer 3.1 prerequisite to ensure that it is already installed on the target machine.
Is it possible to create a windows installer 3.1 prerequisite or is there any other simple method to include installer 3.1 in the setup?
thanks,
tglynx

The Windows installer 3.1 redistributable can be included using the Releases view. In the Setup.exe tab, please select to include MSI engine(s) in the Setup Launcher grid, and then select a version that you want to include in the MSI Engine Version grid.

hi hidenori,
i already include 'Version 3.1' in the setup.exe but i create a SingleImage and configured the location to 'Extract Engine From Setup.exe' also the prerequisits location is configured to 'Extract From Setup.exe'.
When i launch the Setup.exe it fiirst extracts the prerequisites and therefore tries to install .NET Framework (installer has not been installed yet).
That results in an error message because .NET Framework 2.0 requires Installer 3.1. If i include Installer 4.5 as prerequisite and configure it to run before the .NET Framework it works well. Therefore i search for a solution which includes Installer 3.1 as prerequisite as including it in the setup.exe seems not to work for a prerequisite.
Regards,
Michael

Do you have any of the localized versions of that prereq file?

HI derekdd23,
why do you need a localized version? You can include the prerequisite for the appropriate language pack. Works for me 😉

I am deploying an app for a very large corporation that is very particular and wants localized frameworks to be installed. They wouldnt settle for anything else.

If you configure the prerequisite to extract the installation file from setup.exe or include it in source-media you could just exchange the file %ISProductDirectory%\SetupPrerequisites\Microsoft .net\2.0SP1\x86\NetFx20SP1_x86.exe with your localized .Net redistributable and it will be included for the next build.
