“.NET Framework 3.5 Client Profile” Prerequisite not available in a ClickOnce Deployment

Question

I'm trying to utilize the ".NET Framework 3.5 Client Profile" in my application but I'm not seeing the option under available perquisites. How do I get that option to show In Visual Studio 2008. This is for a ClickOnce deployment btw, and the below image is just to illustrate where ".NET Framework 3.5 Client Profile" is to go once its there. Thanks.

Answer 1

您是否为Vistual studio 2008安装了Service Pack 1 ？

Answer 2

The installer for .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 is not included in the VS2008 SP1 installer due to size restrictions.

For a workaround on how to actually include it in your setup project, refer to this page: http://blogs.msdn.com/vsto/archive/2008/11/18/how-to-include-net-framework-3-5-sp1-with-your-installer.aspx

Answer 3

Just to add my two cents. After installing SP1 for Studio 2008 I still don't have .NET Framework 3.5 Client Profile available as prerequisite.

But If I select .net client profile and .net framework 3.5 sp1 then .NET Framework 3.5 Client Profile gets installed.

I suspect this is a glitch in studio 2008, but apparently it works.
