Jeremy Ames

I saw a post on here with in the past week or so, but I cannot seem to find

the msi installation. Can someone please help?

Jeremy,

There is an example for bootstrapping the .NET setup at (watch for line
wrap):

Hope this helps.

Are you looking for the Visual Studio .NET Framework Bootstrapper Plug-in on
GotDotNet?

http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/W...a-d187d16f41f1
Setup projects in Visual Studio .NET 2003 can be used to install the .NET
Framework with your application, but only if you have installed the optional
Visual Studio .NET Framework Bootstrapper Plug-in on your development
computer. The Visual Studio .NET Framework Bootstrapper Plug-in modifies the
behavior of the Setup project's Bootstrapper property to include the .NET
Framework bootstrapper as well as the Windows Installer bootstrapper. The
..NET Framework redistributable is then packaged with your application; when
the user runs the bootstrapper setup.exe, it checks for the correct version
of the .NET Framework at install time and if necessary, installs it before
installing your application.

Setup project not dependent on Framework version

by: Howard Kaikow | last post by:

When I build a setup project, the dependency in the setup project is tied to the version in which it was built. Is there a way to build a setup project that can be used in both versions of the Framework? There is provision to build the app's .exe so that the .exe can be used in either version of the framework, is there not a way to do this for the setup project? I looked at the options, did not find any. Did I miss something? --

Greetings. In an effort to get python2.4 on my Centos 3.7, I installed the python bootstrap rpm. This installed 2.4 alongside 2.2 and updated yum to 2.4.0. Oddly, it didn't create a symlink 'python' for either 2.2 or 2.4. I also get a series of troubling dependency errors when I run yum update. Below is the output of the bootstrap install, which includes both a failure early on (possibly related to alternatives and/or the symlink?)...
