Prerequisite checkboxes checked, even when action is 'Skip'

forgive me if this is a duplicate of viewtopic.php?f=2&t=51685

We have a number of pre-install prerequisites which we select from the pre-defined list and uncheck the continue if not installed option, but at install time the UI behavior of the dialog is inconsistent.

When the item is already installed, the action is set to 'Skip, but:
[*] for .net 4.8.1 the check box is disabled and unchecked
[*] for .net 8.0.2 (and everything else I've tested, including custom prerequisites ) the check box is disabled but checked

it would seem if the prerequisite is installed and marked as 'Skip' it should be unchecked, like .net 4.8.1 is.

FWIW, 19.5 does not seem to exhibit the same behavior

Hello Chris,

Thank you very much for providing the sample project.

Upon testing this, I can indeed confirm the behavior.

I have forwarded this to our development team.

In the meantime, I have noticed that this works as expected if you check the "Framework" option for the .NET Runtime prerequisite.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Catalin

Are you saying check the 'framework' option for the net8 pre reqs (and custom prereqs too?) to get the checkboxes to show as empty when the pre-req is already installed? The option is already checked for net481

Hello Chris,

Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying.

As per my observations so far, it looks like this behavior does not exhibit when the "Framework" option is checked.

I've noticed this by observing the behavior for .NET Framework 4.8.1 which does not have the same outcome.

Best regards,
Catalin
