Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 still in SP 1

[Allan Greis Eriksen]

The Redistributable Manager lists Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0 Redistributable Package (x86) as version 2.1.21022. This is Service Pack 1. There is a newer Service Pack 2. Could this be changed so it is the later service pack that is being downloaded?

Allan,

Absolutely no problem. You can change this to whatever you want/need. The source code is available in: "rt_dotnetframework2_x86.sbi". Just download the .NET2 Framework redistributable from the Microsoft site and modify the include script. Line 93 checks if .NET2 is available. If it is available, %_SB_RETURNEX% contains the service pack number of the installed framework. In Line 126 and 131, you have to change the name of the redistributable from "NetFx20SP1_x86.exe" to the SP2 redistributable.

But to be frank, I would not redistribute .NET2 as part of your setup.exe. Most machines already have it installed and why add the extra overhead? I would check if .NET2 is available and if this is not the case, open the Microsoft site and ask the user to download/install it. My $.02.

If you need help with the above, let me know.

Hi Friedrich

I came to the same conclusion to just check for the .NET installation. :)
