VISUAL STUDIO 2008 SETUP PROJECT MSI BUILD with Bootstrapping for quite installation
- by rajadiga
I build Visual Studio 2008 setup Project with MSI build it depends on .NET 3.5. I added Prerequisites like: .NET 3.5, Microsoft office interoperability, VS tools for office System 3.0 Run time, .etc. After that Selected "Download Prerequisite from Same location as my application" in Specify install location for Prerequisite. Build the setup. I can find mysetup.msi in Release directory.
In new Machine I started fresh installation of my application... While Clicking the mySetup.msi. Dialog shows like this " This Setup Requires .NET framework 3.5 , Please install .NET setup then run this setup, .NET Framework can be obtained from web Do you want to do that now?" it gives "yes" no option - if I press YES it goes microsoft website. How can avoid it ? I wanted setup take .NET Framework to be installed from same location where I put all setup files including mysetup.msi ?
In case of Quite installation cmd /c "msiexec /package mysetup.msi /quiet /log install.log" ..in log I can see only half way through installtion then error Property(S): HideFatalErrorForm = TRUE
MSI (s) (D0:24) [00:07:08:015]: Product: my product-- Installation failed.
=== Logging stopped: 3/23/2010 0:07:08 ===
so how can complete the installation without user intervention and without error using VS2008 setup project
thanks for all the help in advance for any input.
