Question

I have a Burn bundle (WIX 3.7) that should install the .NET 4.5 framework if it is not present on the system where the bundle is run.

Here is my fragment containing the prerequisite:

<Fragment>
<WixVariable Id="WixMbaPrereqPackageId" Value="Netfx45FullPrereq" />
<WixVariable Id="WixMbaPrereqLicenseUrl" Value="NetFx45Eula.rtf" />

<util:RegistrySearch 
  Root="HKLM" 
  Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Net Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full" 
  Value="Version" 
  Variable="Netfx45Version" />

<PackageGroup
    Id="Netfx45FullPrereq">
  <ExePackage
      Id="Netfx45FullPrereq"
      Cache="no"
      Compressed="no"
      PerMachine="yes"
      Permanent="yes"
      Vital="yes"
      SourceFile="..\..\ThirdParty\Windows Installer\dotnetfx45_full_x86_x64.exe"
      Name="dotnetfx45_full_x86_x64.exe"
      InstallCommand="/passive /norestart"
      InstallCondition="NOT Netfx45Version OR (Netfx45Version &lt; v4.5.50709)"
      DetectCondition="Netfx45Version AND (Netfx45Version &gt;= v4.5.50709)" />
</PackageGroup>
</Fragment>

I have it working on one machine, however, on another machine it does not work.

Here is the log from the machine (Window Server 2008 R2) where the .NET installer works:

In both cases the detect condition returns false, which I thought would trigger the .NET installer to run. Apparently that is not the case and I am not sure why I am getting two different behaviors. Does anyone have any thoughts why it would be working on one machine and not the other?

Was it helpful?

Solution

The reason it was not working was because I did not set the sku attribute in the supported runtime element of my BootstrapperCore.config file. Here is what my startup element looks like now:

<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
    <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5" />
</startup>

OTHER TIPS

You haven't specified an InstallCondition for the package. You have to have something like this: InstallCondition = (NOT NETFRAMEWORK45 ="4.5.50709")
