You should only need a check for the .NET 4.0 Client Profile. If the full .NET 4.0 is installed it should also return success since the full package upgrades the Client Profile. Palbinder Sandher Software Platform Engineer T: +44 (0) 141 945 8500 F: +44 (0) 141 945 8501 http://www.iesve.com

That error means the file could not be found. Those custom actions are immediate, and they look like they depend on files that have been installed, but immediate custom actions are called before files have been installed. In any case, trying to run cmd or bat files is just too unreliable. Code
