    text
    copied!<p>I need to include Microsoft <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Framework" rel="nofollow">.NET</a> 4.5 as a prerequisite with my installation bundle, and I want it as automatic as possible. However, .NET should <em>not</em> be removed when unistalling. I think I have read just about everything on how to use <code>DetectCondition</code> and/or <code>InstallCondition</code>, but I'm still not getting it right; it is either always running the .NET installation, or never running it.</p> <p>Here's my latest setup:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi" xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension" xmlns:bal="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/BalExtension" xmlns:netfx='http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/NetFxExtension'&gt; &lt;!-- Define minimum .NET Framework version --&gt; &lt;?define NetFx45MinRelease = 377811?&gt; ... &lt;Chain&gt; &lt;PackageGroupRef Id="Netfx45FullPackage"/&gt; ... &lt;/Chain&gt; &lt;PackageGroup Id="Netfx45FullPackage"&gt; &lt;ExePackage Id="Netfx45Full" Cache="no" Compressed="yes" PerMachine="yes" Permanent="yes" Vital="yes" SourceFile="..\..\..\..\Environment\InstallerResources\Prerequisites\dotnetfx45_full_x86_x64.exe" InstallCommand="/passive /norestart" DetectCondition="NETFRAMEWORK45 &amp;gt;= $(var.NetFx45MinRelease)" InstallCondition="NOT REMOVE AND (NETFRAMEWORK45 &amp;lt; $(var.NetFx45MinRelease))" /&gt; &lt;/PackageGroup&gt; </code></pre> <p>(For some reason, I had to define <code>NetFx45MinRelease</code> myself even though it should have been included with WixNetFxExtension.)</p> <p>How can I get the settings correct?</p>
