Hi, Thanks. Actually, I did manage to get some help from the Inno Setup guys and it now detects the .NET Framework version and downloads the setup file from my server if needed. Still working on the DirectX angle, but I am getting the installer upgraded to do what I need it to do. Smile. Pra

I have no doubt Advanced Setup Installer will come in handy for several software products. It is just that it comes with a giant price tag. Though, if it resolves the tech nightmare we are having figuring who has what it is worth it long term. They will get a lovely error saying upgrade this t

Hi Tom, As an opinion, I would pick choice 3. Most computer gameCD usually come with the proper direct X required to run it. If 3 isn't possible then I would go for choice number 2, for the sake of those who do not have the faster speeds. al inal Message - From: "Thomas Ward

hi. Or you could have the installer check to see if the required components are installed, if not, download them and install them before finishing installation. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward To: Gamers Discussion list Sent: Friday, February 27, 2009 9:18 PM Subject:

Hi Charles, That, or simply include the manage components with the game. Adding just the managed components won't take up much extra install space or make the setup file much larger. Provided the person is running a fairly recent DirectX, released in the last year or so, the components won't n

Iether 1 and 2. I actually would love option 1. Direct x is sort of a big file. Not huge by any means but no slouch. I'm wondering if the live installer would just update files, but we wouldn't have to download such a big file, would we? Or does it still download the hole thing? - If just a few
