InstallAware

There is a template for a .NET project. Make a similar one for .NET 2.0. Makes it easier to get going for current technology.

The only difference between 1.x and 2.x installation are the files, and the prequisites.. I think there is no need to create a .Net 2.x template.
You can simply check the .net 2.0 framework prequisite and everything else is done by the InstallAWARE script engine.

Templates are there to get a fast start, right?

Basically, I have to:

* Start a .NET Project
* Remove the old prerequisites, including the files
* Add the new ones.

On top, and something you should start caring about, is that the .net framework 2.0 has TWO install files, separate for 32 and 64 bit.

A .NET 2.0 template could use that difference, too.

Basically, as templates are for convenience, why provide an outdated 1.1 one and not a current 2.0 one?

Hello again,

yes it makes sense that InstallAWARE should put .Net 2.0 be selected by default on the .Net Template.
I can't answer on the 32 bit or 64 bit issue, as i don't know.. wait for Michael's reply on that!

Keep them coming (suggestions/problems etc)!

Hi Thona!

Thanks for this suggestion - I think this is a good change to make, and will pass it on to the team.

In the meantime, all you have to do is uncheck 1.1 in the visual application runtimes view, and check 2.0 instead. No other manual interference is required - there is no need to manually manipulate any files, or touch any part of your setup script!
