Application Runtimes Questions (Pre-Requisites)

Posted: Thu Mar 19, 2009 9:55 pm
I believe, and wanted to confirm, that the application runtimes (.NET, XML parser, SQL runtime, etc), are not uninstalled when my application is uninstalled.

Also, how can I "catch" the error when using a "Web Deploy" project that it cannot download the runtimes (for instance our web server is down, or there is no internet connection).

I would like to display my own message telling them to install the pre-requoisites manually and give them the web addresses.

Thanks!

That's what I observed unless we are both doing something wrong. :)

I'm not sure about your other questions however.

Manual error catching is not available in the current version, but it will be provided in future updates - its part of our roadmap.

Correct about runtimes, you could uninstall them too, of course - but we do not recommend that. For instance if you remove .NET, you'll be hosing a LOT of other apps on the system.

And all your customers will blame your installer for it! You've been forewarned ;)
