[WiX-users] Testing for .NET

[ILT <il....@ii...>]

Slow progress.

I=92m still having trouble with Conditions =96 testing with the =
Sample13.WXS from
the WiX Tutorial =96 for .NET installed versions.=20

Working through the Tutorial, I discovered some answers to previous post =
but
cannot install Sample13 because my machine's .NET v1.0 registry entries =
aren=92t
as described. See partial screenshot from Registry. =20

The problem seems to be that I do NOT have this key / value pair in the
registry =96 (fragment from .WXS file)=20
<Property Id=3D"FRAMEWORK10">
 <RegistrySearch Id=3D'Framework10Registry' Type=3D'registry'
   Root=3D'HKLM' Key=3D'Software\Microsoft\.NETFramework\policy\v1.0' =
Name=3D'3705'/>
</Property>

Instead, my Registry shows (in part) =96=20
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\Policy]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\Policy\Standards]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\Policy\Standards\v1.=
0.0]
"v1.1.4322"=3Ddword:000010e2
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\Policy\Upgrades]
"1.1.4322"=3D"1.0.3705-1.1.4322"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\Policy\v1.1]
"4322"=3D"3706-4322"

Apart from the registry key discrepancy, I need a heads-up on how to =
code the
.WXS file to allow the install if I do have .NET v1.1 present, even if =
my
application requires only v1.0 (or v1.1SP1 or v2.0Beta1 if the =
requirement is
just v1.1).=20
It seems that as Sample13.WXS is written, if 1.0 isn't detected from the
registry then it's no go. I'd like to test in reverse order, I guess - =
if v2.0
is installed, v1.1 apps and v1.0 apps will work, so the installer should
reflect that.=20

I'm also bothered by the discrepancy in the registry structure.

Subject: [WiX-users] Custom Actions (?) for OS version, filesystem

This is a pretty basic sort of enquiry - what do I need to do, in order =
to
check these things?
=95 Windows version
=95 File system (eg, NTFS) for one or more drives
I know how I can do this using VBScript and WMI. Using VBScript/WMI, I =
would
also have to check whether they=92re installed.=20
Is there another way, =93built into=94 Windows Installer and WiX?=20
