How can I detect if .Net 2.0 SP1 is installed from my installer msi, and abort the install if it is not present?
I know how to do this in code, but it seems cleaner do it in the vdproj. It feels more declarative.

A:
All you need is a Launch Condition Editor where you can set minimum .net version installed on the client machine to 2.2.30729 (.net 2.0 sp1). Hopes it helps.

I only see major framework release version numbers in the .Net Framework launch condition. No service packs. Definitely not 2.2.30729.

You can set this value to property manually (as a string)

You could check the value of the MsiNetAssemblySupport property, comparing it to the version number for Fusion.dll when .Net 2.0 SP1 is installed.
