1.1 Setup fails on 2.0?

Hello,

Using VC 2003 with C# I built a 1.1 .NET app and an associated setup
application.

When my setup is run on a machine with .NET 2.0 installed it complains:

"This setup requires the .NET Framework version 1.1.4322. Please install
the .NET Framework and run this setup again. The .NET Framework can be
obtained from the web. Would you like to do this now?"

I'm confused. I'd assumed that 1.1 .NET apps could install on 2.0.

How should this work?

If I tell it to go ahead and get the 1.1.4322 version will it install that
along with 2.0? Can 1.1 and 2.0 run side by side?

However, better still I'd like my setup to NOT complain and use 2.0 without
requiring 1.1 be installed.

Thanks,

My .NET 2.0 is the beta version and it is working very well side by side
with 1.1 version. Don't know about the compatibility, I assume that a mature
2.0 will have this issue implemented correctly.

Are you saying the reason my 1.1 app setup won't install on 2.0 is because
the 2.0 is a beta version? Is this a known issue with 2.0 betas? Will it
be fixed in the 2.0 release version?

Thanks!

Hi Grant,

Thanks for your post.

I think this problem is caused by that the Lauch condition of setup project
did not include .Net Framework2.0.
Go to the Launch Conditions Editor of the setup project and select the .NET
Framework launch condition. Edit the SupportedRuntimes property so that it
includes the 2.0 frameowrk, such as
1.1.4322;2.0.50727
(Note: modify this to your specific 2.0 Framework version)
Then your setup project may accept the .Net Framework2.0

Hope this helps

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Do I need to do anything to the applications to allow them to run on 2.0
once I can get them installed?

Go to the Launch Conditions Editor of the setup project and select the ..NET Framework launch condition. Edit the SupportedRuntimes property so that it includes the 2.0 frameowrk, such as
1.1.4322;2.0.50727
(Note: modify this to your specific 2.0 Framework version)

Hi Grant,

Thanks for your feedback.

Yes, Whidbey has done a good backward compatibility to .Net1.1, and .Net1.1
application should work well on .Net2.0 Framework without any change. This
has been confirmed by the blog link below:
"Testing compatibility for Whidbey/Everett"

Hope this helps
