Re: [WiX-users] detecting .net 2.0
It is not possible to have only .Net 3.0 or only .Net 3.5. .Net 3.0 builds upon and extends .Net 2.0, and if .Net 2.0 isn't installed when you install .Net 3.0, it will install .Net 2.0 for you. And .Net 3.5 builds upon and extends .Net 3.0, so it will also install and/or patch .Net 2.0 and .Net 3.0 during the .Net 3.5 install. --matt hoover From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kelly Leahy Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2007 4:24 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] detecting .net 2.0 I found this post - which is very helpful: http://blogs.msdn.com/robmen/archive/2006/10/17/wix-v3-syntax-for-detecting-the-clr.aspx However, I've read that .NET 2.0 applications will work with .NET 2.0, .NET 3.0, or .NET 3.5 installed (as they all use the same core CLR 2.0).

Re: [WiX-users] detecting .net 2.0
Thanks Matt. That was the critical piece of information I was missing. So is the .NET 3.0 installation actually a bootstrapper that installs the .NET 2.0 installation via delegation to the original .NET 2.0 package, or are the installs combined? I guess the answer doesn't really matter, but I'm just curious.

Re: [WiX-users] detecting .net 2.0
I don’t remember the exact mechanics, but the later installers do bootstrap the earlier installers and service packs. I am forgetting right now where .Net 2.0 SP1 was introduced, but by the time .Net 3.5 is installed, .Net 2.0 will be patched to the SP1 level. Without looking at the installers, I can’t remember what is done in what order, but the effect is to have the latest service packs for .Net 2.0 and .Net 3.0 installed by the time that .Net 3.5 completes its install. If you have a Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2 install disk, you can look at the installers that do this. If you look in the WCU\dotNetFramework on the disk, you can see the installers that are used. --matt hoover From: Kelly Leahy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2007 6:40 PM To: Matt Hoover (VSNC) Cc: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [WiX-users] detecting .net 2.0 Thanks Matt.
