Wix detect .NET 4.5.2 in bundle
I am trying to make an installer bundle for .NET 4.5.2.
I followed these instructions, and it works fine for that .NET version.
But when I change the version, as below, it does not detect the installed .NET version when I run the installer for the second time:
<ExePackage Id="Netfx452" Cache="no" Compressed="yes" PerMachine="yes" Permanent="yes" Vital="yes" InstallCommand="/q /norestart"
SourceFile="$(var.ProjectDir)Resources\NDP452-KB2901907-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe"
DetectCondition="(Netfx4FullVersion="4.5.51209") AND (NOT VersionNT64 OR (Netfx4x64FullVersion="4.5.51209"))"
InstallCondition="(VersionNT >= v6.0 OR VersionNT64 >= v6.0) AND (NOT (Netfx4FullVersion="4.5.51209" OR Netfx4x64FullVersion="4.5.51209"))"/>
Solution
This is only supported in WiX 3.9:
Include a reference to WixNetFxExtension.dll
In your Bundle.wxs file, add the following to your
<Bundle><Chain>element<PackageGroupRef Id="NetFx452Redist" />Alternatively, substitute any of the following for the
Idattribute's value:PackageGroup ID Description NetFx452Web .Net Framework 4.5.2 web setup. NetFx452Redist .Net Framework 4.5.2 standalone setup.
Here is a short example of final markup:
<Bundle Name="My App" Version="1.0.0.0" Manufacturer="Me" UpgradeCode="{YOUR-GUID-HERE}">
<BootstrapperApplicationRef Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense"/>
<Chain>
<PackageGroupRef Id="NetFx452Redist" />
<MsiPackage SourceFile="$(var.AppInstaller.TargetPath)" />
</Chain>
</Bundle>
