.net 2.0 and Windows Installer pre-req

Postby Orenk9 » Thu Mar 22, 2007 5:34 pm

Hi,

According to Microsoft site, Windows Installer 3.0 is required in order to install .net 2.0.
My question is: Does it mean that everyone that checks .net 2.0 as pre-req in their InstallAware project must check also Windows Installer 3.0 or 3.1 ?

Thanks,

Oren.

When you check on the Runtimes Window the Net 2.0 preq, InstallAWARE it automatically adds any other necessary preq.

Should I see that automaticly addition?
I mean - Do I expected to see any automatic check of some pre-req or the automatic additions are "hidden" inside the manual pre-req check?

Can I count on that checking only .net 2.0 will work fine on machines that does not contains windows installer 3.0 ?

Thanks,

Oren.

As soon as you tick the .NET 2 box, the Windows Installer 3.0 one will be ticked.

You can, however, untick WI3, however, this is NOT safe.

.NET 2 install will fail if WI3 is not present on the machine.
