[RESOLVED] [Inno Setup] Check if Net Framework 2.0 is installed

[Lasering]

Hi!!

How can i check if Net Framework 2.0 is intalled

Thks

[randem]

Doesn't the .NET framework check to see if it is already installed when it attempts to install?

[Lasering]

I dont know couse i have already the net framework installed on all my computers.
But does the Inno Setup does that by default?

[randem]

Inno has nothing to do with the .NET framework, so it doesn't check for it.

[randem]

So, why don't you attempt to re-install the .NET framework to see if it checks if it is already installed???

Something else to do is to do what I have started doing lately.

1. download and install Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 (FREE)
2. install an OS on it (requires you have a liscense for that OS that not already being used)
3. install all Windows updates
4. defrag and compact the install
5. mark the virtual hard drive as readonly
6. create a differencing hard drive based main one you just created
7. install and test what ever you want, only the differencing disk will change
8. repeat steps 6 and 7 as needed

I know this doesn't answer your immediate issue, but may be useful, and it's a good way to test your installations and applications in various systems as if you were installing it on a users PC.

I've provided a link to the artiale that describes using Virtual PC and differencing disks.

Thks a lot Cavar, but i dont have 2 licenses, i just have my windows.

How can i do a If in Inno Setup like:

If Registrykeythattellsmeifnetisinstalled=true then
continue installer
else
Msgbox("Pls visit http://... to install net framework"
end if

The key i go find to see which is it.

You can write code for that in Inno Setup.

[Lasering]

that i already knew! Thks anyway!!!

But how can i do the part continue? And how can i do for this code to be processed before anything?

EDIT: I found how to do part of it

[Code]
function InitializeSetup(): Boolean;
begin
If {reg:HKLM\Software\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v2.0.50727,Install} := 0 then 'in here i dont know how to do this correctly
MsgBox('The setup detected that .Net Framework 2.0 is not installed in your system.' #13#13 'Please install it. You can download it from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&DisplayLang=en', mbInformation, mb_Ok);
Result := False
end;

now i just need to know how to make a clickable link the msgbox and how to the the if line, if u know what i mean.

You can ask Klienma. He does Inno Code. He hangs out in the VB .NET forums.

Hi,
just dropped by since I was searching for a way to check if windows media player is installed on a win2k system within inno ...

Anyway here is some code to check for .net 2.0... and send the user to ms to download .net if not available on the system...
