Where to find the .NET componentID's for generating .msi Setup-Files
-
Hi all, I am not clear if this the right forum for this question !? (or administration ?) As the starting condition of my setup file (msi) I have to determine if .NET Framework X.Y is already installed. So I need the componentID of the relating framework. I seeked the registry but I found hundreds of guid's. Where do I get the correct one ? Thanks in advance Frank PS.: I am missing a forum for installer-questions (is there a one ?)

If your installer includes files that require .Net then VS should automatically add a .Net Prerequisite to the "Launch Conditions" page in the VS Editor. If you click on that prerequisite you can view its properties and change the .Net version number to whatever you want. If that isn't working for whatever reason this[^] article may help.

Hi Jimmanuel, thanks for your answer. The VS2008 installer addeted automaticly the Prerequisite (but the wrong one) .NET v3.5 instead of .NET v2.0 (my app was compiled for .NET2.0) and left the componentID free. So I came back to my question - where to get this componentID (GUID) or what checks the installer to determine if the correct version is installer or not. - The article doesn't tells somthing about it. Thanks Frank
