i need to create a .net 4.0 deployment setup in french language

Question

I am working in .net 4.0, I need to create deployment setup in visual studio 2012 with all prerequisites like .netframework 4.0,sqlite etc.

when i create the setup in english (default), it is working good, means it is installing all the things properly on client machine. But when i change the default language to french, it give an error

1: The install location for prerequisites has not been set to 'component vendor's web site' and the file 'DotNetFX40\dotNetFx40LP_Full_x86_x64fr.exe' in item 'Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (x86 and x64)' can not be located on disk. See Help for more information.

2: General failure building bootstrapper

3: Unrecoverable build error

Please help me, how can i remove this error.

Another thing is that when i change the settings for prerequisites like "download the prerequisites from the vendor's website", then it does not give an error. But i need to install from local disk/folder including in setup folder.

Answer 1

It is necessary to place the file into the proper language directory.

Here, you're missing the \fr part in your path.

So you must place the file dotNetFx40LP_Full_x86_x64fr.exe to directory c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\DotNetFX40\fr for 64 bit windows or to c:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\DotNetFX40\fr for 32 bit windows.
