Hello,

I am using Windows XP, VS 2008 SP1, .Net 3.5 SP1 and Xna 3.0. ClickOnce is issuing the warning 'Microsoft.Net.Framework.3.5.SP1' could not be located in 'c:\ProgramFiles\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\'.I do not havea DotNetFX35SP1 folder anywhere, butControl Panel's Add or Remove Programs shows that I dohave Microsoft.Net Framework 3.5 SP1 installed. What am I doing wrong? Please help!

Thanks,

Louis.

Hilrsg2000,

From my experience, it is possible that the DotNetFx35SP1 is not installed correctly so that some files are missed. You can copy the package from other computer who have installed .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. In another way, you can install DotNetFx35SP1 in a virtual machine and copy files from the virtual machine.

Let me know if this helps.

When are you getting this message? Are you getting it when trying to deploy your application, or when trying to install it?

Are you specifying .Net 3.5 SP-1 as a prerequisite to your application in the Prerequisites diealog? Which option for locating the prerequisite do you have selected? Is it "from component vendor's site" ?

Hello RobinDotNet!

I am getting the warning"Microsoft.Net.Framework.3.5.SP1 could not be located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\" by ClickOnce Deployment.Yes, I am specifying .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 in my prerequisitesand yes, I have selected "Download prerequisites from component vendor's web site".

The part that has really confused me is that the warning is correct.Downloading .NetFramework 3.5 SP1 Bootstrapper to my PC does not create the folder c:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\DotNetFx35SP1 as itshould.Incidentally, Control Panel\Add or Remove Programs shows that I do have .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 installed..... somewhere!!! Searchingthe whole hard drive forthe DotNetFx35SP1folder fails to find it!

Eventually, what I would like to do is to use the option "Download prerequisites from the same location as my application" so my clients do not have to be connected to the Internet.

Thanks a lot for your help, I am completely lost.

Louis.

Hi lrsg2000,

From your description, you selected “Download prerequisites from the same location as my application� This means you need to place the setup files of the dot net 3.5 in your publish machine. These are the steps:

1. Create this directory: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\DotNetFX35.

2. Download the setup file of dot net 3.5 from
http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/0/f/60fc5854-3cb8-4892-b6db-bd4f42510f28/dotnetfx35.exe.

3. Extract files in dotnetfx35.exe to a folder, such as dotnet35.

4. In the files folder(e.g. dotnet35), find these directories: dotNetFX20, dotNetFX30, dotNetFX35, dotNetMSP and a file called dotNetFx35Setup.exe. Copy these four directories and the dotNetFx35Setup.exe file to the directory we have created: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\DotNetFX35.

Please make sure the publish machine have this folder:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\WindowsInstaller3_1
and this file
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\WindowsInstaller3_1\WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe.
You can download the file from

Hello Aland Li,

Yes, I have all the folders and files exactly as listed above in your reply,but since I don't have a DotNetFx3.5SP1 folder anywhere,ClickOnceis still issuing the warning 'Microsoft.Net.Framework.3.5.SP1' could not be located in 'c:\ProgramFiles\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\'.

I am really baffled by this problem and I sincerely appreciate your help in this matter.

Warm regards,

Louis.

Hello Aland,

Now we are getting to the heart of the problem. I have been aware of said document for some time now, but I cannot follow those instructionsbecause I do not have a "[Program Files]\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\DotNetFx35SP1" folder anywhere.

Regards,

Louis.

Hello Aland,

Thanksa lot, that worked fine! Isincerely appreciate your effort in helpingus out. Now a different problem. I do not get any warnings or errors when I publish, but when I try to install my application in another PC I get the error:"Could not find file 'D:\Application Files\Project1000_1_0_0_3\obj\x86\Debug\Project1000.obj.x86.Debug.Microsoft.Xna.Framework.RuntimeProfile.txt.deploy'."

Any ideas?

Regards,

Louis.
