.Net Framework Dependency 472

[PAC]

I'm in need of a Dependency module for MSI Factory to install .Net Framework 4.7.2 if not already on the target computer.
Does anyone here know if this exists and where I can get hold of.

Many thanks, Paul

You can pull the EXE from Microsoft (https://dotnet.microsoft.com/downloa...amework/net472), add this as a Primer file (Under Resources tab), and in Actions > On Startup, check the target computer's registry for .NET 4.7.2. If it exists, proceed with installation, if it does not exist, display a popup window.

Here is a sample that checks the registry if the target computer has an OS of Windows Server, and also version 2008 R2 or higher:

if Registry.DoesKeyExist(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion") then
regValue_installType = Registry.GetValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion", "InstallationType", false);
-- returns "Client" if regular windows. returns "Server" if Windows Server.
if (regValue_installType == "Client") then
result = Dialog.Message("Installation Warning", "Operation System is not supported.\nThe product may still work, but Windows Server 2008 R2 or higher is recommended.\nWould you like to proceed?", MB_YESNO, MB_ICONEXCLAMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON2);
if (result == IDNO) then
Application.Exit();
end
end

-- Check if Windows Server 2008 R1 or lower
reg_currentVersion = Registry.GetValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion", "CurrentVersion", false);
if (reg_currentVersion == "6.1" or reg_currentVersion == "6.2" or reg_currentVersion == "6.3" or reg_currentVersion == "10.0") then
-- We are a valid Windows Server 2008 R2 or higher machine
else
result = Dialog.Message("Installation Warning", "Operation System is not supported.\nThe product may still work, but Windows Server 2008 R2 or higher is recommended.\nWould you like to proceed?", MB_YESNO, MB_ICONEXCLAMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON2);
if (result == IDNO) then
Application.Exit();
end
end
else
result = Dialog.Message("Notice", "Failed to detect OS version.\nDocConverter must be installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 or higher.\nWould you like to proceed?", MB_YESNO, MB_ICONEXCLAMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON2);
if (result == IDNO) then
Application.Exit();
end
end
