Hello,

In Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2, in a Setup project, in Prerequisites, there's no option to include the .NET Framework 3.0 prerequisite. How do I change things so that it is an available option?

My goal is to create an .msi installer that is launched by a Setup.exe. The Setup.exe should install .NET 3.0 if it's not there. The application that I'm installing uses .NET 3.0

Note: I've tried clicking the "Check Microsoft Update for more redistributable components", but .NET 3.0 wasn't there.

Thanks!

Adam

If your app was buil against 3.0 but doesn't use wpf wcf or workflow foundation, you can run on 3.5 just fine

My end users may be less likely to have .NET 3.5 SP1 than .NET 3.0

My point being, it won't matter since the clr is the same version in both..
