How to remove Visual J# .NET from installation package (MSI)
- by Narendra Tiwari
While creating Web Setup, Visual J# .NET automatically included in the MSI package.When we install this MSI on a server machine which does not have Visual J# .NET installed, installer prompts a message to install Visual J# .NET.
Usually we dont need to install Visual J# .NET and it can be avoided to add into installer. To do this:-
- Open setUp project (.vdproj) file in a text editor.- Find below section for LauchCondition for Visual J# .NET and remove it."LaunchCondition" { "{836E08B8-0285-4809-BA42-01DB6754A45D}:_237E8F40F1A4464FBD27D8992CFDD623" { "Name" = "8:Visual J# .NET" "Condition" = "8:REQ_VJSLIB_VER_PRESENT = \"TRUE\"" "Message" = "8:[VSDVJSMSG]" "InstallUrl" = "8:http://msdn.microsoft.com/vjsharp" } "{836E08B8-0285-4809-BA42-01DB6754A45D}:_DF1CA2119CD64D4B94CE993CF1624ACE" { "Name" = "8:IIS Condition" "Condition" = "8:IISVERSION >= \"#4\"" "Message" = "8:[VSDIISMSG]" "InstallUrl" = "8:" } }- Save .vdproj file and Build again to generate new MSI installer.- Install the MSI on a new machine again where J# does not exist, It should not prompt the same message to install J#.
