elliottgresham asked a question.
Hello,
We are in the process of updating our software to .NET Framework 4.8. I notice there isn't a Redistributable in InstallShield for .NET Framework 4.8.
Does anyone have a .prq file available for .NET Framework 4.8?
Kind Regards
Elliott
Hi @elliottgresham ,
i would suggest you to take reference of previous pre-requisite whichever you have as latest.Using pre-requisite editor you will be able to edit registry settings and downloadable file.
One slight modification you might need to do is:Registry condition value of .Net Framework 4.8 existence:
Registry key path:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full
Value of .NET 4.8 framework is:528040
Content .prq will look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<SetupPrereq>
<conditions>
<condition Type="2" Comparison="2" Path="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full" FileName="Release" ReturnValue="528040"/>
</conditions>
<operatingsystemconditions>
<operatingsystemcondition MajorVersion="6" MinorVersion="1" PlatformId="2" CSDVersion="" ServicePackMajorMin="1"/>
<operatingsystemcondition MajorVersion="6" MinorVersion="3" PlatformId="2" CSDVersion=""/>
<operatingsystemcondition MajorVersion="10" MinorVersion="0" PlatformId="2" CSDVersion="" ProductType="2|3"/>
<operatingsystemcondition MajorVersion="10" MinorVersion="0" PlatformId="2" CSDVersion=""/>
<operatingsystemcondition MajorVersion="6" MinorVersion="2" PlatformId="2" CSDVersion="" ProductType="2|3"/>
</operatingsystemconditions>
<files>
<file LocalFile="<ISProductFolder>\SetupPrerequisites\Microsoft .net\4.8\Web\<FileName>.exe" URL="<Downloadble link>" FileSize="0,0"/>
</files>
<execute file="<FileName>.exe" cmdline="/q /norestart" cmdlinesilent="/q /norestart" returncodetoreboot="1641,3010"/>
<properties Id="{<GUID>}" Description="This prerequisite installs the .NET Framework 4.8 Web Installer package." AltPrqURL=""/>
<behavior Reboot="2"/>
</SetupPrereq>
Hope it helps,
Thanks,
Jenifer
Hi Jenifer
Thank you for your quick reply.
I did look at the .NET Framework 4.7 prq file and had started to adapt that, but I wasn't sure on some of the values. For example, there was a AltPrqURL value and I didn't know if this needed to be set, but I guess not from your example.
I'll take another look and let you know if I have any questions.
Thanks again.
Elliott
Hi @elliottgresham ,
"I did look at the .NET Framework 4.7 prq file and had started to adapt that, but I wasn't sure on some of the values. For example, there was a AltPrqURL value and I didn't know if this needed to be set, but I guess not from your example."
AltPrqURL field you can ignore as i had mentioned sample .prq content since it is alternative.Basically it would be the link of Flexera's file server which would be uploaded by them.
if you could update web link of file with file(Some entries which ever has <> added with) in addition to the content i had added in the previous reply that would be enough i guess.
Thanks,
Jenifer
Thanks Jenifer.
Just incase anyone requires this prq file, this is what I have made (adapted from .NET Framework 4.7 Full). It seems to work well after initial testing.

Any idea how to make the pre-requisite check different release values on different OS versions?
Is it just a case of adding another condition line to include the second release version?
<conditions><condition Type="2" Comparison="2" Path="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full" FileName="Release" ReturnValue="528049"/><condition Type="2" Comparison="2" Path="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full" FileName="Release" ReturnValue="528040"/></conditions>Hi @SimonG ,
Since pre-requisite conditions are OR based can you give a try with both 528049 & 528040.I would also suggest you to add OS(Operating systems whichever you want to add) in condition.
Thanks,
Jenifer
Are you sure you want to cancel the case creation?
