.NET 9 Prereqs

[ryanromanowski]

Hi.

When will all .NET 9 prereqs be something I can automatically include with my installer? Or is there a work around to include it now even though it's not showing in the Advanced Installer UI?

Hello and welcome to our forums,

I have added this on our TODO list of improvements and it should be available in a future version of Advanced Instlaler.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

In the meantime, please note that you can add the prerequisite manually in Advanced Instlaler.

The only thing we have to figure out is the install condition (you can see the predefined we use for NET 8 and try to adjust that for NET 9).

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Catalin

Hello,

This improvement has been added in version 22.3 of Advanced Installer.

Best regards,

I've encountered an issue with the installer where it incorrectly checks for any type of ".NET 9," which isn't the right behavior. For instance, my app specifically depends on ".NET Desktop Runtime 9.0," but if the user has only the ".NET Runtime 9.0" installed, the installer condition still passes. These two packages are entirely different, so the installer should specifically check for the "Desktop" version to ensure compatibility.

Hello and welcome to our forums,

I've checked the install conditions of both .NET Runtime and .NET Desktop Runtime and their conditions are different.

Here's the condition for .NET Runtime 9.0:

and here is the condition for .NET Desktop Runtime 9.0:

The condition for .NET Desktop Runtime is not met when .NET Runtime is installed:

and therefore the prerequisite is installed just fine.

That being said, please make sure the prerequisite is not already installed on the machine.
