Summary0001617: .Net Framework not optional
Description

Since OPC Core Components 3.00.101.0 (2008-07-08) installer is requiring .Net Framework. For example, take a clean Windows XP SP2 system. Install fails in current version (3.00.105.1) if one doesn't choose "Yes" when asked to install .Net Framework.

Additional Information

In previous versions it would install normally. Tested with 2.00.2.30 (shows a message, but install) and versions 3.00.1.00, 3.00.1.01, 3.00.1.02 (install silently, no errors)

http://www.opcfoundation.org/DownloadFile.aspx/Core Components/105/OPC Core Components Readme 105.1.htm?RI=821

In no point of the "description" of new builds it's announced this change of behavior. Also the README for current version still says:

"The installers automatically check if the .NET framework is installed on a particular system; if it is not found the .NET components are not installed."

This indeed was true for previous versions.

TagsNo tags attached.

Also, the error message saying ".Net Framework 2.0 or higher is required" (or something like that) is misleading - it will not install if only .Net Framework 4.0 is installed.
Only .Net 3.0 and 3.5 are built on top of (include) .Net 2.0.

We have the same problem with OPC UA SDK merge modules. Our product uses only v 4.0 and setup only succeeded on Vista\Windows 7 (not clean XP), because they have integrated Net Framework v 3.x.
