MyFocuserPro2 installation, no internet

[Bojan Stajcar]

Hi Robert,
I am trying to install win app on computer which is currently not on internet.. (and won't be for some time).
Setup program gives up with message (something like) ".Net Framework 4.5.1 required.."
I tried to download Framework from MS website, but unfortunately it is not quite offline version because it wants to verify installer (and it can't because comp is offline).
I know I can sort it out by data SIM and couple of bucks, but still... it would be nice to solve it directly.
Dot.Net v5 apparently doesn't work.
I have the similar issue with newest ASCOM platform.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Bojan

Yes, I see the dilema.
Aplogies for no replying sooner, I did not see the post earlier.
I believe it is possible to download the complete files I forget what windows called them (unattended or somethink)

part of the problem when one creates apps for windows (well there is a lot or problems) is that when you use their tools - and place elements on a form, one has to specify the "other" components that are needed, and then that is built into the app and the user then prompted to download when the app is installed by the user.

        Important: Make sure that your computer has the latest Windows service pack and critical updates. To find security updates, visit Windows Update. If you are installing on XP 64 bit or Windows 2003 you might need to install the Windows Imaging Component. The Windows Imaging Component 32 bit can be found here . The Windows Imaging Component 64 bit can be found here .
        On this page, locate the Download button and then click it to start the download. If you want a smaller x86 only installer you can find it here. If you need to install on ia64 then use the ia64 installer found here.
        To start the installation immediately, click Run.

** To save the download to your computer so that you can install it later, click Save.**
To cancel the installation, click Cancel.

so when one clicks save, all the files are there and you can copy them to usb stick/shared location and install that way

I tried everything above and gave up..- and enabled internet via my mobile.
But, the problem is still here, setup says .NET v 4.5.1 is required..

I successfully installed .NET4.5, but when tried v4.5.1 there was a message:
".NET Framework has not been installed because a certificate chain processed, but terminated in a root certificate which is not trusted by the trust provider"
Could it be the problem is in relatively fresh installation of w'7 , and I can't download updates any more (no support from ms) that were loaded on my other w'7 desktop prior to Jan 2020?

Success.. I needed to install security updates first, instructions are here:
