.Net 4.7.2 Installer

Postby prismlbib » Tue Feb 28, 2023 4:58 pm

I am adding .net 4.7.2 as an application runtime to a compressed single file installer. Using the scripts that are included causes the installer to increase in size by over 500 MB. So I am looking to try a different solution.

Is the installer that downloads the framework instead of including it included somewhere I missed or do I have to manually implement it? Web Media blocks may be the way to go but the documentation says it does nothing for Uncompressed or Compressed build types.

The C++ redistributables also seem to be missing 14 update 3 so I tried a trial of x15 to see if they were there but no luck.

There may be something wrong with your project, or you may be using a low compression level.

Creating a new project from scratch (by default it uses the standard compression level) which includes " .net 4.7.2" runtimes, this generates a sigle compressed EXE of about 74,8 MB.

So I suppose that the increase of 500 mb it may be due something else.
