[WiX-users] RemotePayload causes error LGHT0103: The system cannot find the file '' with type ''.
I have a bundle based on WixStdBa which installs .Net 4.0 and my MSI. I need to add a third party MSI which requires .Net 3.51. So at this point I am only trying to add .Net 3.51 to my chain. Not finding a built-in way to do this like I did for .Net 4.0 ( 'PackageGroupRef Id='NetFx40Web' /') I am using info from: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12628922/using-wix3-6-to-install-net-framework-3-5-sp1-with-burn When I added RemotePayload element I get the error message as documented in this thread: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/LGHT0103-Error-td7582776.html ExePackage Name='data\dotnetfx35.exe' DownloadUrl='http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=22' PerMachine='yes' Permanent='yes' Cache='yes' CacheId='dotNetFx3.51' RemotePayload CertificatePublicKey=F321408E7C51F8544B98E517D76A8334052E26E8 CertificateThumbprint=D57FAC60F1A8D34877AEB350E83F46F6EFC9E5F1 Description=.NET Framework 3.5 Setup Hash=3DCE66BAE0DD71284AC7A971BAED07030A186918 ProductName=.NET Framework 3.5 Size=242743296 Version=3.5.30729.1 / /ExePackage Results in: -- Build started: Project: QDsetup, Configuration: Debug x86 -- C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\WiX\v3.x\wix2010.targets(971,5): warning : The referenced project '..\WixExt\WixExt\WixExt.csproj' does not exist.

Classification: Public You can let the bundle.wxs handle the .NET 4.0 installation for you. You will need to reference the .NET WIX extension then just add: Chain PackageGroupRef Id=NetFx40Redist / To install .net 3.5 check out Neil Sleightholm's blog and goto the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 Install :) http://neilsleightholm.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/wix-burn-tipstricks.html Steve -Original Message- From: Phill Hogland [mailto:phogl...@rimage.com] Sent: July-24-13 10:26 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] RemotePayload causes error LGHT0103: The system cannot find the file '' with type ''.

I had wix doing the .Net 4.0 for me. I had seen Neil's blog some time ago but did not find it when I needed the .Net 3.5 info.
