InstallAware

Hello,

my application needs the Microsoft .Net4 Framework and the windows installer, which i can check in the "Application Runtimes" of Install Aware Designer. The problem is, that when i set this checkmarks, the setup package size gets very big, because the .Net Framework and installer is INCLUDE in the setup package. The options button on this page is disabled. Please tell me how i can reach the following goal:

1. Not include the .Net Framework in the setup package
2. Only check while the setup installation routine, if the needed packages(.net and windows installer) are installed on the target machine. If not, either terminate the installation OR give the person the link for downloading the require packages from the internet, before continuing the setup.

Thanks.

Best regards
Sarah

Dear Sarah,

1- produce a Compressed Web-Based EXE instead and include those runtimes as Web Media Blocks.

2- Modify the default runtime inclusion and behavior, with including only the one the check if that runtime is required.
Then customize the script code with adding a dialog to let the user to download that file.

Please refer to the available IA documentation about "Web Media Blocks (Deployment)", for any additional details that you may require.

Regards
