POHow to install WPF application to a PC without Framework 3.5
text
Body
copied!<p>I have a question about how to deploy WPF application into a PC without Framework 3.5. If a PC just installs Windows XP and sp3, Is it possible to design a setup package that can install WPF Application directly on this PC? <p> The situation is like this:<p> I designed a simple WPF Application. And I want to get its setup package. When the customs get the package, they can install the application directly, even if their PCs do not have Framework3.5 installed. <p> Is it possible? If it is possible, how can I do this? <p> //-----------------------------------------------------------<p> I found Matt give a http://forums.microsoft.com/EmbeddedWindows/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3967493&SiteID=47>solution Is it the only solution?<p></p> <p>You can delete .NET assemblies you don't use from the GAC as long as you test your app to make sure that you don't trim down too much. Majority of .NET assemblies are wrappers on top of Win32 API so they can be removed without affecting the OS.</p> <ul> <li>You can get the list of which assemblies you are using by looking at References node in Visual Studio solution explorer on your development machine. All dependencies are there (If assembly A depends on assembly B, both A and B mist be in the list) but there are some assemblies belonging to the runtime itself such as Accessibility.dll see the list below.</li> <li>Make sure you use gacutil.exe (can be called from Visual Studio command prompt) to remove the assemblies. You have to run gacutil after you boot up your embedded image and have .NET installed. Just copy the SDK\v2.0\bin folder from Visual studio</li> <li>gacutil.exe /l can be used to list all assemblies installed. I used to try to run WPF application on WinPE with no .NET installed. I just manually install the CLR + about 30 dlls from .NET.
