I have installed .Net framework 4.5.1 on Windows7 sp1. I can see in the Control's panel program list but I cannot find the folder named "full" in the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4.0). There is only client folder.
The 4.0 entry is obsolete, use the 4. So check under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full.
Here look for Release values to see the version + patchlevel.

Looks like when I run TeeChartNET2015EVAL_4.1.2015.12166.exe, it installs version of TeeChart.dll built on framework 4.5 only. I need to do the evaluation with the dll built with framework 3.5 (because I have to integrate to an already existing application based on Framework 3.5). Is there any way I can get the evaluation dll for Framework 3.5?
Thanks
When running the installer you need to choose which environments do you want the assemblies for. If you choose Visual Studio 2008 this will install .NET Framework 3.5 assemblies as this is the default framework supported by this environment.
I'm making a setup program for an app I wrote. I'm using the Visual Studio setup template, using InstallShield. The wizard (not Merlin, unless it's Olsen, maybe) asks me about required software:
My app is built on a machine with both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 installed. The app uses .NET Framework 4.5
Do I need to select "Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 Full package" in the "Project Assistant > Installation Requirements" section of the Installshield wizard above, or...???
The answer will be in your WPF project settings and app.config. WPF was released in .NET 3.0 as I recall so you might be targeting 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 client, 4.0 full, 4.5 (full) or 4.5.1. If 3.0 or 3.5 you might have an app.config that says run on CLR 2 or 4. From there you tell InstallShield what kind of gate checks it should perform (if any). It might not be the end of the world if you just install the app and when you click the shortcut you get a friendly message telling the user what version to install.
I have a visual studio install setup project in which I want to specify that pre-requisite is .Net 2.0
When I click properties-> pre-requisite
it shows only .Net framework 3.5 / client profile and .Net framework 4.0/client profile and other components but not .Net 2.0
The second part is will the installer fail if pre-reqs are not met or install them automatically ?
Thanks,
If you look in the properties for the solution you can select which version of the .NET framework you use. Note this is for the non Express versions only.

Furthermore Microsoft keeps itself in business by only making VS backwards but not forwards compatible with future .NEzt versions.
To create an installer you needmtomcreatemamDeployment project and specify the dependendcies.

Whatever I do for several days now, Web Developer 2010 Express does not see 4.0 NET Framework. If to right click on solution properties in the Application – Target Framework it lists 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5, which are NOT installed on my computer but 4.0 which is actually installed. I tried to clean all using dotnetfx_cleanup_tool, reinstalled 4.0 client and full several times, copied reference assemblies to different folders and so on but WDE still does not see it.
I also have SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4 installed.
Where and how does it find frameworks, does in scan registry or some config file?
To target .NET 2.0/3.0/3.5, you have to install .NET 3.5.
And Web Develoepr requires full profile, not client profile.
Fairly self-explanatory. I have recently installed .NET framework 4 and VS2010 but I want to compile my 3.5 projects using 3.5 as 4 has not yet been installed on our production servers and I get "This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded." if I try
All project types have the target framework dropdown greyed out
Make sure that your registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\OnlyUseLatestCLR
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\OnlyUseLatestCLR
are set to 0 (not 1).
This fixed it for me since applications like VS2008 are no longer forced to use .NET 4.0 runtime. I had previously set these registry keys to allow Powershell run inder .NET 4.0, however, a config file should be used for that instead.
This has something to do with .NET 2.0 assemblies (i.e. mscorlib) being removed from GAC.
I managed to fix this by first uninstalling .NET framework 3.5 and 4.0 from my Windows 7 using .NET framework cleanup tool:

And then reinstalling both frameworks (first 3.5, then 4.0) from the web. Now the drop-down has options again in VS2008 and I can multi-target 3.5 framework from VS2010.
