There are two ways to inculde a .NET Framework in a setup. 1) as an Setup Prerequisite (here you standard only 2.0 IA64 or X64) 2) to include it in the release (however here version 3.0 and 3.0 can not be chosen)
What is the difference between these two methods??
We have several products (alle different setups)wich need there own .NET Framework. We want a standard setup for all these setups, so I used the first method because this is the most flexible. Is this correct??
Are there also places where I can download for example the prq-file for .NET Framework 1.1?? How can we use the prequisites with different OS version like X86 or X64??
As a general guideline, the release option was introduced first, but we are slowly migrating towards using prerequisites for all .NET installation options. I don't believe there are any InstallShield-provided prerequisites for 1.0, 1.1, or 2.0 (x86), but it shouldn't be hard to use the 2.0 (non-x86) or 3.0 prerequisites as a model when creating your own using the prerequisite editor under the tools menu. I think I've seen some example ones posted to the community in the past, as well.
