.Net 4 Pre-req in web media block fails in XP

Post by GnomeMN »

I've been scouring the forums all day, searching for similar items, but the only thing similar is: http://www.installaware.com/forum/viewt ... f=2&t=6754

I have an installer that just needs to install .net 4 as a pre-req, pretty simple. I have an installer currently that does this, and on windows 7 everything works fine. The installer downloads the web media blocks for .Net 4, and the .Net 4 client. Then they install successfully, and the installation proceeds. The web media blocks are being downloaded from an internal web server for testing.

The .net 4 framework client is downloaded and installed correctly, however the .net 4 extended framework fails every time on Windows XP SP3. I've seen this on 2 completely separate virtual machines (different installations, not sysprepped or copied) and one physical machine, the web media block will download successfully, and fail during extraction at 100%.

I've attached a small project (basically the default .net setup project) that also fails with the same issue.

We're using InstallAware 10.10 (Build Mooya.beta.311210).

Dear User,

I have just tested your project and works fine with my test environment and by the way, the similar issue you are reporting has been fixed with IA 10.
