Hi Peoples, I am currently setting up the deployment for our product. The
problem I have is that when running the clickonce install on a windows 2000
with no server pack machine I have a problem in that I need to install
service pack 3 to install the 2.0 net framework. I want to automate this
process in that when the install is clicked and the installer finds that it
is installing on a 2000 box it will install service pack 3 and than install
the .net framework.

I have created a bootstrapper package to install the service pack and have
tested this and it works fine. The problem i have is that when i have the 2.0
framework and the 2000 sp 3 prerequisites both selected it will not install
because the 2.0 framework is loaded first and sees that the box is running
2000 without the proper service packs and kicks the user out of the install.
Is there some way that I can order the prerequisites so that it checks the
computer to see if it needs the 2000 service pack, than once thats sorted it
does the install of the .net framework?

Hi Steve,

Would you please tell me how do you create your bootstrapper package, I
think you need to customize the prerequisites' installation sequence in
it...


Thanks!

Best regards,

Gary Chang
