any licensing issues with creating an installer with just prerequisites?
Hello,
Trying creating an installer for an application requires .NETFramework 3.5 SP1 and 3.5 Languapge Packs, but if I include them on InstallShield Prerequisites list, they add 200MB to the installer and customers do not like that.
Using Web Download option does not help here, because the installer needs to work on the machines with no Internet/network connection.
Is there any licensing issues with Microsoft to create an InstallShield installer that installs .NET3.5SP1 and Lang Packs ONLY?
(I never got a straight answer about repackaging .NET, Microsoft or Flexera support keep suggesting to direct customers to .NET Download webpage or use Web Download option in Prerequisites.)
If anyone has done this (or distributed your installer with .NET but outside of your installer), please help!

for the license terms on redistributing the .Net framework look at the following MSDN article.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xak0tsbd.aspx
Also, when deploying to a machine with no internet connectivity, you should deploy the Full package .Net Framework installer. If you cannot include it as part of your installer, then have it as a seperate file that must be installed before your application.
