Version Property (Launch Conditions)

Specifies the version number of the .NET Framework redistributable component that is required to be on the target computer before the application is installed.

Note

Do not confuse this property with Version Property (Windows Installer), which specifies the version of an installer or merge module.

Remarks

The .NET Framework launch condition property Version in the Setup Project specifies the exact version of the .NET Framework that the installer requires be present on the target computer before you install the application. By using the Version property, you can specify the following versions of the .NET Framework in the launch condition.
