Add .NET Framework 4.0

[muttus]

Hi,

I'm creating installer for my new app and I don't see .NET Framework 4.0 in "Launch conditions".
Please add it or say how to check it by custom conditions.

Thanks,
Muttley

Hi Muttley,

The .NET Framework 4.0 is still in beta and is subject to change, which is why we are not yet incorporating it as a launch condition.

You can still implement this by either doing a registry search for one of the registry keys the .net framework 4.0 installs or a file search. This is a good file location to search for

Code: Select all

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30128


However it's very possible these things will change once .NET 4.0 is out of beta.

Gabriel

With the official release of .NET 4 will this be added to the prerequisites section?

Hi,

Yes, .NET Framework 4.0 support will be added in Advanced Installer 7.7.

When is this due to be released? We're developing an installer right now for an application that depends on .Net 4

Hi,

I'm afraid we cannot offer an ETA for now, but it shouldn't take more than a month. Until then you can create a prerequisite or launch condition manually.

it's also needed on the virtual directory tab - asp.net version - is there a work around other then setting this manually after the install?

[Cosmin]

Hi,

This will be supported in Advanced Installer 7.7. Until then you can try this:
- create an application pool for your web application
- go to Table Editor page
- in the "AI_IIsAppPool" table set the "ManagedRuntimeVersion" column to:

Code: Select all

v4.0

same issue

[Cosmin]

Hi,

In the "AI_IIsVirtualDirectory" or "AI_IIsWebSite" table (whichever you are using) try setting the "AspNetVers" to:

Code: Select all

4.0.30319

Hi Cosmin

this didn't really work either. It looks correct in the UI but what I browse the page I get an odd error message. I then changed to the 2.0 framework, exited, changed back to 4.0.. in the UI and the page worked

[Jedidja]

Any ideas on when 7.7 is coming out? 7.6.1 didn't address this issue either and it was a month since the previous release...

[Cosmin]

Hi,

I'm afraid that we cannot offer an ETA for now, but it should be released by the end of this month (perhaps next week).

Hi, can you give us an update on .NET 4.0 prerequisite availability?

Thanks
