Hello,
First of all, thank you for the nice work.
I'm new with INNO Setup, so all this might look stupid ... but i have some issues with the installer though. My dependencies (msi31.exe and dotnetfx35.exe) fail to install. I get no error message, the setup just skip them.
I did a little check and it might be a problem with the PrepareToInstall() function (where the InstallProducts() function it's called). I haven't found any call for PrepareToInstall().
So i called PrepareToInstall inside NextButtonClick and it does start msi31.exe but another problem appear. It seems that dotnetfx35.exe starts before msi31.exe finish it's installation and of course it fails (since dotnetfx35.exe require Windows installer 3.1).
I'll keep working on it, but a little push in the right direction will be much appreciated ... because i'm not really sure about what i'm doing  .
P.S. The /qb parameter doesn't work for Windows installer 3.1. So for the moment i'm using /quiet.

InstallProducts should be execute at the PrepareToInstall function inside products.iss.
Also the installation order depends on which main function was called first inside setup.iss
For example:
msi31('3.1');
dotnetfx35();
MSI 3.1 should be installed before .NET Framework 3.5
There could be some bugs though since I havent tested it heavily.
Btw are there any problems if you compile the original setup.iss (using .netfx 3.5)?

I partially solved the problem, it was mainly because of my INNO Setup version. It was older than 5.3.2 where this PrepareToInstall was added as an event function.
After the upgrade to the last version, if i remove the manual call for PrepareToInstall, it's installing msi31 correctly but fail to install dotnetfx35 (the order it's exactly like you said). I kind of solved that too by calling PrepareToInstall again inside the NextButtonClick function. I don't know why i have to call PrepareToInstall again to make it work, so i'll keep checking ... but for the moment it's the only solution i found.
And yes, the original setup.iss have the same problem ... it's installing msi31, but then fail on dotnetfx35.

You have to change in products.iss "function PrepareToInstall: String;" to "function PrepareToInstall(var NeedsRestart: Boolean): String;" and it works fine!

Hello,
I think there are wrong options for installing .NET 2.0 + .NET 2.0 SP1 (see dotnetfx20.iss and dotnetfx20sp1.iss).
I had some issues during installation and recognized that there are parameters which do not exist (that’s what the syntax dialog said).
I replace it with "/qb /norestart /lang:ENU" and everything works fine.

Sorry but I am not familiar with that extension.
But it is a good idea so I may implement it in the next version.

Thank you very much for your script. I love it!
But I have some questions regarding the "offline files".
1. Why do you/we have to rename the files (org. "NetFx20SP1_x86.exe" -> "dotnetfx20sp1.exe")? This seems to be unnecessary because these files are neutral for different languages.
2. Do I have any possibilies to put files for different platforms in the dependency folder? For example NetFx20SP1_ia64.exe, NetFx20SP1_x64.exe and NetFx20SP1_x86.exe and your script selects the right one? Or do I have to build 3 setups for each platform?
Greetings from munich

Thanks for your comment. I will look into it if I have time.
1. yeah you are right I think it can be changed and will be in the next version.
2. Oh I totally forgot to implement x64 to offline files. I will post a bugfix as soon as possible so you dont have to build 3 setups.
EDIT:
about 2.
change the first argument of AddProduct at every dependency (i.e. dotnetfx20sp1.iss) to something like this
AddProduct(GetURL('dotnetfx20sp1.exe', 'dotnetfx20sp1_x64.exe', 'dotnetfx20sp1_ia64.exe'), [...]}
EDIT2:
about 1.
It would not work for language packs or .net framework 2.0 and 1.0/1.1 since they are all called dotnetfx.exe. Therefor I prefer to rename every setup according to the same pattern instead of just renaming a few.

Hello,
Please let me know if the followig is true:
If my program only requires .net framework 3.5 with sp1,
then I should only need the following lines in the 'include' section:
<
#include "scripts\products.iss"
#include "scripts\products\winversion.iss"
#include "scripts\products\fileversion.iss"
#include "scripts\products\msi31.iss"
#include "scripts\products\dotnetfx35sp1.iss"
#include "scripts\products\dotnetfx35sp1lp.iss"
>
and the code section should look like this:
<
[Code]
function InitializeSetup(): Boolean;
begin
//init windows version
initwinversion();
msi31('3.0');
dotnetfx35sp1();
dotnetfx35sp1lp();
Result := true;
end;
>
In other words, to install dotnetfx35sp1, i do not need to install any previous version of the framework, and to install msi31, I do not need to install msi20.
thank you,
pjr

yes that is correct though it should be msi31('3.1'); since you need a minimum version of 3.1 for .netfx 3.5.
You should also check for Windows Server 2003; Windows Server 2008; Windows Vista; Windows XP either using winversion.iss or with MinVersion = 0, 5.01 inside the [Setup] block (I would prefer that).

Thank you stfx!
This might be a dumb question but here it is: in my 'simple' setup scenario, what is the purpose of checking for the Windows version?
Thanks,
pjr

I am not sure what you mean.
Some products/dependencies may need the functions of winversion.iss. In your case MSI 3.1
And the MinVersion check I told you the post before is because .net framework 3.1 needs Windows 2003+

Makes sense stfx. thank you.

are you sure that you have included products.iss at the first line inside setup.iss

You seem to have another variable somewhere else that is also called WindowsVersion I think. Delete one
|
|
|
|
|
|

Erm, I couldn't locate the other WindowsVersion variable, so I decided to change the "WindowsVersion" variable in winversion.iss to "WindowsVersion2". Theoretically this should solve the problem, but yet when I compiled my script it said "Duplicate identifier WindowsVersion2". Very strange, because I'm 100% certain that I do not have other variables called WindowsVersion2.

Ahh, sorry my fault! I had included winversion.iss and fileversion.iss twice by mistake.
Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for your help.

Are you going to create an implementation for such cases as
- connection is broken and try to restore it for x times
- parralel downloading to gain more high speed?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that would be part of the isxdl library which is not my code and i therefor have no chance of influencing. if you want it badly contact the author who also created ISTool
