Custom runtime scripts and multiple dependencies

Post by ktroost »

I've managed to create custom runtime setupscripts for .NET 2.0 and MSI30. I modified the setupnet20 and setupmsi30 files to download and install the runtimes instead of including the runtimes within the setup itself. I renamed the runtimefile to Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 (download).rtm. When i select this option in the IDE, it automatically selects MSI3.0 (download). This is because I changed the dependencies for this runtime.

Now here's my question:
Is it possible to use multiple dependencies, so that EITHER MSI3.0 (included with setup) or MSI3.0 (download, created by myself) can be selected? MSI3.0 is a smaller download so I might sometimes consider to include this with my setup. I still like to choose for download or include.

I'd like to know more about this too. The official PDFs published on web site do not contain full details about runtime package authoring.

As you can see in the MSI script, application runtimes are inserted with the Include Script command. You can easily setup conditions based on a user selection to include your script or the IA included script.
