Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (Web install)

[Ulrich]

Dependency module for Setup Factory

This is a dependency module for Setup Factory, and can be used to check for the .NET Framework 4.0 on the target computer. This script uses the web installer (dotNetFx40_Full_setup.exe) to download and install the proper binaries for the .NET Framework, and will add less than 1 MB to your installer.

If the .NET Framework 4.0 cannot be found by the dependency module or is outdated, the bootstrapper will be started in passive mode, displaying some progress screens as data is being downloaded. After the framework finished installing, your installer will continue. If a reboot is required after the installation of the framework, the installer will resume after the reboot.

Right on Ulrich!

Thank you, Ulrich. This dependency module installs the "full" version of .NET Framework 4 (requires 2GB on x64), not the "client" version (requires 1.5GB on x64).

You can modify the scripts by yourself, if you wish. It is just a matter of changing the platform installer from dotNetFx40_Full_setup.exe to dotNetFx40_Client_setup.exe, and add the new file to the dotnet40 sub folder.

If you prefer, you can get the updated package from my server, I included a separate dependency for the Client Profile web installer.
