Detection of .Net 4.0 Client vs. Full

[NewsArchive]

Hi Friedrich,

I am writing a wrapper for SQL 2008 Express SP2 and ran into an issue.
It requires .Net 4.0. I ran the install on a Win 7 system with .Net 4.0
installed but the SQL installer gave an error stating that .Net 4.0 was
required.
After a little digging I found out there are 2 version of .Net 4.0. A
Client and a Full version. Don't you just love Microsoft somedays.

Using SetupBuilder 7.5 it detected that 4.0 was installed but I did not see
anyway to have it detect Client vs. Full without going straight to the
registry keys.

The keys for detecting Full and Client are:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Client
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full
The annoying thing is the Version, InstallPath, etc are exactly the same
between the two version.

Here is a brief article.

Any chance you could add the logic/option to the .net status feature in SB?

TIA,
Rick

It's already included in the latest internal SB source code and will be
available in the next maintenance build.

Thanks,
Friedrich
