Thanks Blair for clarification, my setup is now working as expected. Appreciate your help!

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Install .Net Framework 4 The bootstrapper instructions you supplied use a bootstrapper that creates a setup.exe file that runs the project-associated target file (your MSI file) after all other packages indicated in your build instructions are run. It is expected that the user will run the setup.exe, or that you will EXE-ZIP the entire resulting target directory and when double-clicked the self-extract exe will run the setup.exe. Bootstrappers run all installation packages one-by-one, with your MSI simply being one of the packages (usually the last one). -----Original Message----- From: Jason Ding [mailto:jas...@geo-slope.com] Sent: Thursday, June 17, 2010 9:05 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Install .Net Framework 4 I ran the Setup.msi because I think that is how user installs the product and then msi will execute the Setup.exe. Do you mean I should ran Setup.exe? If that is true, does Setup.exe then launch Setup.msi? Probably I misunderstood how wix and bootstrapper work, can you clarify please?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Install .Net Framework 4 The bootstrapper should run and install the indicated prerequisite packages before launching your MSI. Thus, your original launch condition looks appropriate. However, launching the MSI does not run the bootstrapper, as the MSI can't realistically install prerequisites. In your testing, are you launching the bootstrapper or the MSI? -----Original Message----- From: Jason Ding [mailto:jas...@geo-slope.com] Sent: Thursday, June 17, 2010 3:46 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Install .Net Framework 4 My launch condition in the .wxs file is: <PropertyRef Id="NETFRAMEWORK40CLIENT"/> <Condition Message="[ProductName] requires Microsoft .NET Framework version 4.0 to run, click the OK button below to install."> <![CDATA[Installed OR NETFRAMEWORK40CLIENT]]> </Condition> And in my wix project file, I ask Bootstrapper to install .NetFramework 4.0 Client, I think that is why the install fails because it checks if ".NetFramework 4.0 Client" exists, and it doesn't on my test machine, so the install fails before going ahead to instead ".NetFramework 4.0 Client". I changed the launch condition to be NETFRAMEWORK20, now I can install successfully, but when I run the problem, it asks to install .NetFramework 4.0. So my questions are: 1. when I ask bootstrapper to install ".NET Framework 4.0 Client", can I use ".NET Framework 4.0 Client" as the launch condition? 2. when I change launch condition to be an early version, like .NetFramewrok 2.0, why the install doesn't install .NetFramwork 4.0 Client, which is what Bootstrapper supposed to do?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Install .Net Framework 4 Look in the Bootstrapper folder, under the Packages subfolder. Each folder in the Packages folder contains a bootstrapper package. Each package directory contains a Product.xml file. The root node of those files is named Product. It has a ProductCode attribute. The value of that attribute is the value you need in the "Include" attribute of your BootstrapperPackage element in your *proj file. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.

I tried John's solution, it builds fine, but when I install it fails "Setup ended prematurely because of an error. Does John or anyone else know why? 2. If I use BootstrapperPackage for 4.0, like this: <BootstrapperPackage Include=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"> how can I specify 4.0 Client, neither <BootstrapperPackage Include=".NETFramework.Client,Version=v4.0"> nor <BootstrapperPackage Include=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0 Client"> is working. 3. Does anyone know where I can find out the property values for different .NetFramework versions? For example, in <BootstrapperFile Include="Microsoft.Net.Framework.4.0"> We use Microsoft.Net.Framework.4.0 for 4.0 and Microsoft.Net.Client.3.5 for 3.5 Client, when I use Microsoft.Net.Client.4.0, it gives me warning MSB3155: Item 'Microsoft.Net.Client.4.0' could not be located in 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bootstrapper\' I wonder there must be a place I can find out the standard value for each version, can someone help?
