Inno Setup Dependency Installer

Hi,

Just wondering where netcorecheck.exe (and netcorecheck_x64.exe) located in the src folder of the github repository come from? Is the source code available for these executables?

Thanks,
Dave

It's a Microsoft tool on Github: deployment-tools/src/clickonce/native/projects/NetCoreCheck at master · dotnet/deployment-tools · GitHub[^]

The GitHub repo has no issue tracker enabled, so I have to post here and hope somebody reads it.

The dependency for Visual C++ 2010 is still the old outdated version that was replaced with SP1. I thought this was fixed, but it's not. The current code on GitHub uses this page:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555

The correct link is this:

Hello,
i already use a relatively complex Inno-Setup script.
What is the best way to integrate this one into my existing script?

Very good work you have done. =)

This is the latest one:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads[^]

I think your products.pas should be edited in order to allow using dependencies compiled into the setup.

I use your great scripts to check and install a VC runtime.

So what I do is:

1) In my [Files] section I state:

Source: "d:\resources\vcredist2017.exe"; Flags: dontcopy

This way, the VC runtime is compiled into my setup.

2) Then I have edited "products.pas" like this:

ExtractTemporaryFile(filename);
path := ExpandConstant('{tmp}{\}') + filename;

This way, Inno Setup will extract the compiled VC runtime and try to install it.

I'm not perfectly sure how to add an error-catcher here, but I don't need it.

If the author finds my edit useful, I think it would be great if he could add it.

I've only left use_dotnetfx47 and use_vc2017 defined, I commented out the rest of the files, when I try debugging or compiling the setup I get the following error:

Am I doing anything wrong? I haven't really changed anything from the original script and didn't find anything relevant to it on this page or google Cry | :((

EDIT: fixed error message

I remember that I saw this error message, too.
I'm not perfectly sure anymore how I fixed it.

I guess it was either a missing include or the order was wrong.

So check if you have the following includes in the following order:

#include "scripts\products.iss"

#include "scripts\products\stringversion.iss"
#include "scripts\products\msiproduct.iss"
#include "scripts\products\winversion.iss"
#include "scripts\products\fileversion.iss"
#include "scripts\products\dotnetfxversion.iss"
#include "scripts\products\vcredist2017.iss"

Hi all, Czech translation is here[^] Smile | :)

Please change encoding to Windows-1251 of file "scripts\lang\russian.iss" due to incorrect display.

Well done, keep up the good work !

Please help me with my problem.

I downloaded vcredist###.exe for x86. I want it to be included in my setup.exe so when my app is being installed, it can be installed fully offline.

I already modified the code in .iss and added vcredist files in MyProgramDependencies folder.
All the settings are set correctly and my app is installed fine when the download is enabled.

But when I set it to install the vcredist offline by settings the following to yes,

DisableReadyPage=yes
DisableReadyMemo=yes

the installer displayed error message:
"An error occured while installing the dependencies. Please restart the computer and run the setup again or install the following dependencies manually:"

I spent hours finding what's the problem. How can this be fixed?

Thank in advance!

I found the solution. It didn't find the vcredist installer files because the path is wrong. I saved them in the default folder '

MyProgramDependencies

' and changed the output folder because I need them to comply in my projects folder structures and automation scripts.

I expected the vcredist installers will be access in the same path I used in '

[File] Source:

' and assumed that it is a key to a dictionary to access those file when the output-installer is executed. But when I logged the path, it is [output-folder]\path.

I moved the vcredist installers in a folder where output-installer is saved and it's now working ok.

The release notes say

Quote:
Added support for .NET Framework 4.5 - 4.5.2

..however there is no script for this. How would you install 4.5.2?

Thanks

It helped me a lot, thank you !!!

Hi,

I notice that .Net 4.5 script file is not available while .Net 4.6 exists.
Is there any reason for this?
Does .Net 4.6 installer contains also 4.5 framework?

As far as I know .Net 4.5 is also supported in windows 7 while .Net 4.6 it is not.
So what happens if I try to install an application (created with your installer )that require .Net 4.5 in a pc running Windows 7?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I dont know why but he said me it's miss the "" file ....
I suppose it's the istool missing but i try to install it ... but it's doesn't change anything.

Did I have to do something, else ?

after i search more...
it's just that i was in french ... and it's buggins without add the french langage in product.

How can I verify if has already installed Visual C++ Redistributable? In my simple test, using VC++ 2015 Update 1. This doesnt work. (win10 - with vs2015 prof.) and (win7 - second install).

That's an amazing script, very nice!

Hi,

have you planned to update version for SQL Server 2014 (and nearly 2016) ?

Vincent

I'm currently using this for SQL Server 2014 Express:

Delphi

// requires Windows 7, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista, Windows XP
// requires Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP 1 or later
// requires Windows Installer 4.5 or later
// SQL Server Express is supported on x64 and EMT64 systems in Windows On Windows (WOW). SQL Server Express is not supported on IA64 systems
// SQLEXPR32.EXE is a smaller package that can be used to install SQL Server Express on 32-bit operating systems only. The larger SQLEXPR.EXE package supports installing onto both 32-bit and 64-bit (WOW install) operating systems. There is no other difference between these packages.

If you want to detect other "regular" SQL servers, all you need to do is change registry key queried for version information. I don't know about Local versions.
The registry key for regular SQL Server installations is:

SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\SQLEXPRESS\MSSQLServer\CurrentVersion

1. The Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable must be updated to SP1. Otherwise the installation will fail if that service pack is already installed. Together with the /q parameter, the user will not even know what happened. The URLs are:

vcredist2010_url_x86 = 'https://download.microsoft.com/download/C/6/D/C6D0FD4E-9E53-4897-9B91-836EBA2AACD3/vcredist_x86.exe';
vcredist2010_url_x64 = 'https://download.microsoft.com/download/A/8/0/A80747C3-41BD-45DF-B505-E9710D2744E0/vcredist_x64.exe';
vcredist2010_url_ia64 = 'https://download.microsoft.com/download/7/7/3/77332C03-CC6C-45E5-A7B6-E02504B93847/vcredist_IA64.exe';

vcredist2010_productcode_x86 = '{F0C3E5D1-1ADE-321E-8167-68EF0DE699A5}';
vcredist2010_productcode_x64 = '{1D8E6291-B0D5-35EC-8441-6616F567A0F7}';
vcredist2010_productcode_ia64 = '{88C73C1C-2DE5-3B01-AFB8-B46EF4AB41CD}';

Also the parameter /q should be replaced with /passive, just like for the .NET Framework setups. It's not silent but it doesn't ask for user input and can still show error messages.

2. Wouldn't it be safer to use all HTTPS URLs instead of unsecured HTTP?

Hi.

I've done many changes in the Github project to support https and many other things. You can try.
