Hi All.
I am using Advanced Installer V7.6.1 (I know it is old but that is what my company has) and am trying to create an installer for Windows 8. However every time I come to do an install the Win 8 test computer keeps flagging up that I cant install as I don’t have .net 3.5. I have tried adding the program as a prerequisite but that doesn’t seem to be working. Could someone talk me through the best way to sort this?
Many Thanks
Tom

Re: .net 3.5 in Windows 8
Hi Tom,
This version of .NET can be installed on Win 8 as an OS feature, from Control Panel, you cannot install it by running its setup package.
Normally, Win 8 will automatically prompt the user to install it if it detect the application that is launched requires this .NET version.
If you want to install it automatically for the user you can create a BAT file that installs this OS component and execute this BAT as a prerequisite, before the installation of the application.
Best regards,
Bogdan
