Install .NET Support for ArcGIS 10

[JamesCrandall]

I cannot seem to get this installed correctly -- this is for a client running ArcGIS Desktop 10.  I thought by choosing to "Modify" the ArcGIS10 Installation it would provide the option to include the .NET Support SDK, but it does not.  I did locate a seperate .msi that is suposed to be the SDK support (its in a file folder that someone has titled "SDK_dotnet"), so I attempted to run this .msi but get the following error:

"ArcObjects SDK for the Microsoft .NET Framework requires a supported edition of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 SP1 to proceed".

Which this of course then fails to install.

I don't get it.  I am simply trying to deploy a customized Toolbar, that I have built the Setup project for, and it's .msi --- adding a launch condition to check for .NET support.  Anyone have a tip on how to get .NET Support installed on a client (ArcGIS Desktop 10) client?

Thanks

That obviously depends on what tool you are using to build the setup.  There are many choices such as Wise, Wix, InstallShield, Visual Studio, etc.

One thing that you do need to do is to determine the directory by reading the registry.

This is a Setup Project type in Visual Studio 2008
