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






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.

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). 

Is the NETFRAMEWORK20 variable defined for machines that have ONLY .NET 
3.0, or ONLY .NET 3.5? 

If not, what's the recommended best practice for requiring anything that 
can run 2.0 code, in other words, ".NET 2.0 or higher"? 

Thanks,
