Hi, http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/install_dotnet.htm. This is for .NET framework 3.5 and not for .NET framework 3.5 SP1. Is there anything for .NET framework 3.5 SP1. Is there any difference between running .msi and .exe Can I run any other .msi or .exe installation file from our installation?
Thanks, Rahul. -----Original Message----- From: Koji Ishii [mailto:kojii...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2009 3:36 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] VC++ redistributable Using the bootstrapper worked for me. http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/install_dotnet.htm I use bootstrapper to install VC++ redistributable as well. Note that, even though I mentioned to run setup.exe rather than msi in my document, a lot of users tried to install by double-clicking msi. I would recommend that: * Implement blocking logic to msi even if you built a bootstrapper. * Use your creativity to name the msi file so that users don't think it is the file to double-click. I was using "<my product name>.msi", and from my experience, this is bad. 2009/5/28 Kim Gybels <kim.gyb...@metris.com>: > Hi > >> Is there any other way to install vc++ redistributable file and .net >> framework sp1 installer through our .msi installler >> > You can use the merge modules provided by MS for the vc++ redistributables. > > Here is what I use for this in WiX: > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> > <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> > <Fragment> > <DirectoryRef Id="TARGETDIR"> > <Merge Id="Atl" Language="0" SourceFile="C:\Program > Files\Common Files\Merge Modules\microsoft_vc80_atl_x86.msm" > DiskId="1" /> > <Merge Id="Crt" Language="0" SourceFile="C:\Program > Files\Common Files\Merge Modules\microsoft_vc80_crt_x86.msm" > DiskId="1" /> > <Merge Id="Mfc" Language="0" SourceFile="C:\Program > Files\Common Files\Merge Modules\microsoft_vc80_mfc_x86.msm" > DiskId="1" /> > <Merge Id="AtlPolicy" Language="0" SourceFile="C:\Program > Files\Common Files\Merge Modules\policy_8_0_microsoft_vc80_atl_x86.msm" > DiskId="1" /> > <Merge Id="CrtPolicy" Language="0" SourceFile="C:\Program > Files\Common Files\Merge Modules\policy_8_0_microsoft_vc80_crt_x86.msm" > DiskId="1" /> > <Merge Id="MfcPolicy" Language="0" SourceFile="C:\Program > Files\Common Files\Merge Modules\policy_8_0_microsoft_vc80_mfc_x86.msm" > DiskId="1" /> > </DirectoryRef> > > <FeatureGroup Id="MicrosoftRedistributables"> > <MergeRef Id="Atl" /> > <MergeRef Id="Crt" /> > <MergeRef Id="Mfc" /> > <MergeRef Id="AtlPolicy" /> > <MergeRef Id="CrtPolicy" /> > <MergeRef Id="MfcPolicy" /> > </FeatureGroup> > > </Fragment> > </Wix> > > Hope this helps. > Can't help you with the .Net part, though. > > Best regards, > Kim > > -- > > *Kim Gybels > Software Developer > * kim.gyb...@metris.com <mailto:kim.gyb...@metris.com> > Tel: +32 16 74 01 01 > Fax: +32 16 74 01 02 > > > > * Metris Europe > * Interleuvenlaan 86 > 3001 Leuven > Belgium > www.metris.com <http://www.metris.com/> > > > > > > This message and any attachment are privileged, confidential and contain > private information.
