.NET 2.0 and the standalone module

[dealkema]

When I download the .NET 2.0 redistributable for the IDE, I get C:\Program Files\Macrovision\IS11.5\Redist\0409\i386\dotnetfx20.exe. For the standalone build, I would assume that it would go in C:\Program Files\Macrovision\IS 11.5 StandaloneBuild\Redist\0409\i386\dotnetfx20.exe.

But the standalone build is looking for dotnetfx.exe in top level of the standalone build. My assumption is that I just need to copy and rename it, but all I could find on it in the newsgroup was that a case was opened.

UPDATE:
If I rename the dotnetfx20.exe to dotnetfx.exe, I get an error that IS can't find dotnetfx20.exe. If I rename it BACK to dotnetfx20.exe, then I get the can't find dotnetfx.exe. So do I have to have both? Is that going to add the file twice and bloat my install by 20mb?

It is getting very frustrating that development time is greatly extended just trying to figure out the quirks when switching from the IDE to the standalone build module.

Adding the same file under the name dotnetfx.exe and dotnetfx20.exe makes the errors go away.

The .NET 2.0 redists are actually installed by the InstallShield 11.5 StandAlone Build to the ...\0409 folder under your StandAlone Build install location (most likely C:\Program Files\Macrovision\InstallShield 11.5 StandaloneBuild). There are three files in this folder: dotnetfx.exe, dotnetfx20.exe, and 1033dotnetfx.exe. All of these files need to be moved into the root install folder of the StandAlone Build. That will fix your issue.

This is a bug that has been confirmed and issue IOC-000045607 has been created for it.

Which part was considered the bug? That the files are in the wrong place, or that the standalone build is requiring both .NET redistributibles when all I want is the 2.0?

I also have a support case opened on this. Incident # SIOA-000044669.

Thanks for your help,
