Who knows what MS will do for 4.0, I don't think we can guess. .Net 3.0 and 3.5 are just marketing labels, they are really 2.0 plus service packs. I know that doesn't help but I don't see what we as install writers can do.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to detect if .NET framework 2.0 or higher is installed While that is true for 3.0 and 3.5, that might not necessarily be true for "4.0". For example, if they have 2.0 they do not necessarily have 1.1 or 1.0, as they were both different CLR versions. The reason it is true for 3.0 and 3.5 is because they are library extensions and run on the same CLR version as 2.0. On Sun, Jun 8, 2008 at 1:57 PM, Neil Enns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Right. A user can't just install .NET 3.5 as the installer will automatically install .NET 2.0 and 3.0 as well. If your installer does a check for .NET 2.0 via the reg key (or using the NetFxExtension that comes with WiX), the check will pass if the user has "only" installed .NET 3.5 since the other two frameworks will automatically be there as well. > > Neil > > ________________________________ > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ryan O'Neill [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, June 08, 2008 11:51 AM > To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.' > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to detect if .NET framework 2.0 or higher is installed > > I think that's what he said.
