.NET Framework 2.0 as an installation requirement
Hi all,
I would like to create a installation package that checks for and installs .NET Framework 2.0 if it does not exist.
I would like it to install .NET Framework 2.0 from a local redistributable package (i.e. not download it from the Internet).
I cannot see it as an option to select from in the 'Installation Requirements' screen (image attached).
How can make it available to select, or do what I would like to achieve some other way?
Thanks in advance.

Hi James,
In order to add a new condition for your setup kindly navigate to the Requirements view.
Right Click on the System software Requirements option and choose create a new Launch condition.
Choose the Registry entry option for the field Choose the item you want to search by from the list below:
Here you may search for the Registry key “SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v2.0.50727” with Registry value “Install” Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
This condition would search if .NET 2.0 Framework is installed on the target machine.
The option to include a custom prerequisite is not available in InstallShield Limited Edition.
The Prerequisite Editor tool which is available in Premier and Professional edition of InstallShield can be used to create a custom prerequisite.
Thanks,
Lenwin

What's the difference between a custom prerequisite (which you indicate can not be created in ISLE) and a custom requirement (which can be created in ISLE)?

Hi,
Custom requirement option can be used to create your own condition which is evaluated before the installation proceeds.
A custom prerequisite is an option where you can add you own prerequisites through the prerequisite editor and include them to your projects.
