.NET 2.0 install function
I use the GetDotNET code to detect which version of .NET framework is installed, but rather than

I have a desire to convert this page to a function instead of a section. So far, I can't get it to work...could someone help?

Thanks in advance!

Do you need to call it before the InstFiles page?
What happens if you just change the Section and SectionEnd to Function and FunctionEnd?

I'd like to call it immediately so that I don't need to worry about uninstalling the partial install, though I could work around that.

Essentially what I have done is pretty much just replace "Section" with "Function" - the GetDotNETVersion routines work great, the MB for whether to download .net or abort opens, then regardless of choice, the installer aborts.

Here's my code currently:

Now, I know I'm just missing something simple, or maybe NSISdl can't be called from a function?

There's a few Abort instructions in there.
Abort closes the installer when called from .onInit.
In an install Section it would have cancelled the installation process.

NSISdl may be in function, but not from .onInit. Requires INSTFILES page. Translate option is useless without page as well. InetLoad can do this, but please note - Translate parameters for /popup mode have other values, see readme and samples.

NSISdl will still work outside the InstFiles page, but obviously there will be no dialog.
I would go with Takhir and use the InetLoad plugin.

Thanks guys. I'll check InetLoad.

RE: abort- I did want it to abort install, just that it was reaching those lines when it shouldn't be - as if the NSISdl was being bypassed or causing an abort itself. If InetLoad proves troublesome, I'll try moving the .net check to the first section...

URL_DOTNET
Question: Where do you initialize the "URL_DOTNET" variable which is used to download the file? And how do you adapt it to the language of the system?

thanks!

I actually haven't gotten that working yet either, but the original method uses the MUI LANGDLL_DISPLAY macro to accomplish that - I would hope to do the same if I can get the english download to work! For now, I've got some of that hard-coded, so that's not where the failure comes from - I should have shown that in the code above...

To close this thread, InetLoad is working great. Thanks!
