Problem on .NET framework 3.5 install
Hi,
We have three products in one CD, but every product needs .NET framework 3.5, if every product includes .NET framework 3.5 as a prerequisite, the total three products size will be larger than 700M, that means i have to turn to DVD, that's very bad for me.
In order to share .NET framework 3.5, I try to use installscript to launch .NET framework 3.5, but it says it can't launch two installer.
does anyone have similar problems?
thanks in advance.

Could you write an auto launcher to show options for installing .NET and your 3 products? You could grey out the buttons for the products until .NET is installed.
You could also maybe build uncompressed setups and allow your three products to all exist in a single directory structure with the .NET directory overlapping.
Probably a few other tricks you could do also.

The trick with autolauchers is they need to be a stand alone that requires no dependencies to be installed. DemoShield and old version of Delphi are good choices. You can also consider writing an InstallScript project that doesn't actually install anything just to handle the UI and shelling out to your packages.
