InstallAware MS .Net Pre-Requisits - Dependencies

Posted: Mon Nov 03, 2008 1:03 am

Hi IA Team,
created a .NET Projekt an selected "Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 with Service Pack 1" under Topic "Application Runtime".

My Applicationwas installed on windows XP Prof., the Auto-Dependency-.NET Packages in front.

Now Windows Auto-Update offers ".NET Framework 3.0 SP1" to be installed.

Under IA's "Application Runtime" Topic the "3.0 SP1" is not Auto-Dependenca-Selected. What Dependency beetween all the .NET Packages exists, seem still to be some sort of secret.

Q1: Can you confirm, that these package "3.0 SP1" is required too for complete .NET Install like MS signals (by clicking in IA it includes the "2.0 SP1" too) ?

Q2: Or is there anything wrong with IA's "3.0 SP2" package, that was installed with my Application and that seems not to contain ".NET 3.0 SP1) ?

Q3: Can you give me a advice, where Microsoft publishes Dependeny Information beetween all these .NET Packages or what rules InstallAware follows ?

Q4: How are IA's Microsoft Pre-Requisite Packages build ? I read something like "Decompressed original MS-MSI than build/compressed by IA." ...

Again thanks in advance
Martin
