Check for .NET 2.0 but don't install it

I need to make an installer that will check for the presence of .NET 2.0 but has no option to install it - if it's missing, the install should simply fail.
How would I go about getting that effect with IA6?

Hi!
View the script checknet20.
After the line
Add something like
Code: Select all
MessageBox: Error, Cannot install without .NET 2.0.
Terminate Installation
Note that with web media blocks (also called Partial Web Deployment), you can ship an installer without .NET 2.0 embedded, and with all your application files still in it.
This way, your main setup can work without requiring an Internet connection.
And, it doesn't automatically fail if .NET 2.0 is missing - it will just try to download it, and fail if it cannot.
