.NET 4 Prerequisite install failing

[aaron0]

Hi,

I have created an installer which has the .NET framework as a prerequisite.

During install some users getting an error informing them that an error has occurred while downloading the .net installer.

I ran the installer on with the debuglog command line argument and got the following:

I have attached the full log file.

If I open internet explorer on the same computer and paste in the url to the .net installer from that log file it downloads without issue.

What is causing this error?

Thanks

Hello,

This error is thrown if the .NET 4 framework could not be downloaded by Installshield.
I suggest you to download it from Microsoft website and place it in the location
\SetupPrerequisites\Microsoft .net\4.0\Full\

Note: = Install Location of Installshield
Ex:C:\Program Files\InstallShield\2011

Hope this helps!

Regards,
Ramya
