    Application Installer requires .NET installed???

    Hi,

    I created a setup for my application and when I'm trying to install it on the target computer, the Installer says it requires .NET installed in that computer, which is ridiculous, so I'm sure there's something I did wrong, or something I didn't do.

    Can anybody help me out here?

    Thanks,

    Dave

    Since you created the installer in VS.NET, the framework has to be installed for the installer to work. I use Wise for my install programs. That way, the framework does'nt have to be installed for my installer to work.

    Its not that ridiculous. As a normal task the installer first searches for .NET framework. Also you can add some other conditions to setup. There is a 'MsiNetAssemblySupport' added to the Launch conditions of your setup. Remove that and test again.

    Also you may like to try ORCA for more options with MSI.

    I use Installshield Express 3.5 (SP4) which can intergrate with VB.NET 2002-not sure about v 2003, also optionally can install it during the setup procedure for installshield. I have installed the redistribuatables on 98-and I'd try some apps designed with .Net to test the installation to see if it was a success.

    Thumbs down

    So, then, the idea is NOT to use the built-in installers, but a different one? I thought VB had gotten better than this...

    How do I know the files that I need to include in the other installer application?

    All the extra files that you included in your project, like a third party dll.
