Prevent Prerequisite Installation on Windows 7
Hi all,
I have a Basic MSI project that includes the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 prerequisite under Redistributables. I need to prevent this from installing on Windows 7 target PCs because this part of the installation fails; the prerequisite does not support Windows 7 (which comes with .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 built-in).
Does anybody know of a way to do this? I have tried adding a custom target OS of version 7.0 with a minimum service pack of 999, but the installation still tries to include the prerequisite. For that matter, I would have expected the prerequisite's default check of the appropriate registry key to prevent the prerequisite from installing.

Okay, obviously checking for version 7.0 will not help on what they should have called "Windows 6.1" (or, my preference, "Windows Vista - but it works!")
But even removing the option to run on 6.anything still does not help - the same error occurs.
