Hello,

we recently moved to XE3.
A setup build with IA15 needs a new build. I opened it, tried to compile and got the following

i found, that the program folder contains a \netfx_core with netfx_Core_x86.msi inside.
Shouldn't the versions be downward compatible?

How to fix this?
Regards

Dear Anja,

if the problem happens with a project originally released using a previous InstallAware version, some application runtimes have been totally re-designed in IA X3 (as Net, Sql and so on).

I suggest to you to try the following.
NOTE!! Make a backup of your entire project folder before to proceed!

A- Open the project and remove any used Application Runtime from the project (Design View in the IDE).

B- Remove any Runtime script eventually left (that refers to the used Application runtimes) in the "Include Scripts" node (left tree pane of the MSI code view in IA IDE)

C- Manually check that any "include script" entry (that refers to the removed Application Runtimes) has not been left in your main script.

D- Finally, re-add all the required Application Runtimes, save and build the project.

The above steps should solve the issue you reported.

Hope this helps you.

Regards
