Re: [WiX-users] Windows 8 framework 3.5

Nothing built-in. It's something we should take a look at in WiX v3.7. On Fri, Jun 22, 2012 at 1:49 PM, David L. Beckwith beckw...@interaccess.com wrote: I include a legacy msi in a burn package that requires framework 2.0. However, Windows 8 no longer includes 3.5, it is optional.
