Yet again I need help as I learn this software. I have two requirments left and they are causing me problems. :confused:
1) I need to install .net framework 3.5 sp1 but higher ups don't want that big of a file to be included with the package. I have been told that there is a way to just download what you need from microsoft. ie if the user just has framework 3.0 it would just upgrade what it needed.
2) I need to search for an adobe reader 5.0 higher and up and if it doesnt find it to install it. However, again I want to avoid building my project with the large exe file.
I am doing a basic msi project and building it as an executable. This project will be used to install clients remotely so file size is a bigger deal then bandwidth. I realize that number two will probably have to include a system scan looking in the registry for an adobe reader key but from there I dont know how to initiate the install without the bulky framework. Any help would be appriciated.
Any idea how I can scan for earlier versions of reader. I dont nessisarily have to have adobe reader 8 or 9 just 5 or higher as the user just needs to be able to read our docs.
I know it will probably take a system search to do that but that will happen after the prereqs have been executed. I could launch a install script but then I would have to add the setup file to my package increasing its size.
Ok nevermind I figured that part out. In case anyone is haveing trouble just use the conditions part of the prereq editor to search for the folowing registry keys
