Bootstrapper Prerequisite does not equal Product Prerequisite. If you're using a managed bootstrapper (such as the WiX installer), it has its own .NET requirements. If you have a custom bootstrapper written to .NET 3.5, then it's a bug that you hadn't modified the prerequisite of the bootstrapper (but I rather doubt this is the case).
In any case, .NET 3.5 will create increasingly unpleasant users experiences for your product. Because it uses the 2.0 CLR, it means mounds of .NET 2.0 also need to be installed. And on Windows 8 Core and above, it's not installed by default and requires a feature install--at least on server OS's. -- John Merryweather Cooper Senior Software Engineer | Integration Development Group | Continuing Development Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.® | Lenexa, KS 66214 | Ext: 431050 |jocoo...@jackhenry.com -----Original Message----- From: Lutteke, Robin [mailto:robin.lutt...@ordina.nl] Sent: Friday, March 27, 2015 9:05 AM To: WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net Cc: Robin Lutteke Subject: [WiX-users] Wix bootstrapper only works on .net 4.5 ?Hi, When I run the bootstrapper setup on a Windows 7 machine it only works when .Net Framework 4.5 is installed. My WPF classlibrary is build for .Net Framework 3.5. The setup only needs 3.5. What is going wrong?!
