NSIS Installer with .NET 4.0

Question

Is there a standard/preferred method for automatically downloading and installing the .NET 4.0 Framework from an NSIS installer, if the machine doesn\'t already have it?

Answer 1

What is the problem? The solution should be the same as for any other .NET version.

Something like this should work:

ReadRegDWORD $0 HKLM "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Client" Install
IntOp $8 $0 & 1

Result is in reg $8

Substitute Client with Full to detect the non-client version.
