Oops, this was really intended for miscrosoft.public.platformsdk.msi. I did a test with XP with Framework 2 already installed and then run Client Profile install. What you get is pretty much the same as if you had downloaded 3.5 installer from MS site manually and then run it. IOW, your user will see from half an hour to more than one our (depending on download speed and machine) of mostly frozen progress bars.
Client Profile doesn't improve anything in the case of XP with Framework version 2 or version 3 already installed. As far as I can see the upgrade to 3.5 is as long lasting as is a regular 3.5 install. >From what I can tell, you better hope than your XP users have no version of Framework, not 1 or 2 or 3 installed because only then Client Profile cuts down download/installation time significantly. -----Original Message----- From: Ryan O'Neill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2008 4:04 AM To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.' Subject: Re: [WiX-users] NET Client Profile = lame duck I've not got round to trying it yet, but as for installing .Net on XP machines, my customer really wants that as there are a lot of XP machines out there still. Especially ones that do not have 3.5. So I can see that it is going to be useful for me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
