Update Build Server to 10.2 with .NET 4 Support
posted

Hi

We have successfully updated our solution to Visual Studio 2010 with .NET 4 and Infragistics 10.2

Now i need to install the Infragistics .NET 4 Libraries on the build server, but the installer wont let me install those, because there is no VS 2010 installed. how can i bypass that check? i cant install Visual Studio 2010 on the build server!

thanks

    Hello Stefan,

    The installers look for Visual Studio being installed not the actually framework itself.  You can get around this by creating the registry keys the installer looks for on your build server. Create one of the two following entries depending if you are using a 32-bit or 64-bit OS.

    32-bit machine:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0

     

    64-bit machine:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0 create

     

    Once the hierarchy is created, off 10.0 entry create a key called “InstallerDir” and set it to a path on the machine.  On my machine which has VS2010 installed it’s set to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\”.

    This should let the installer run without that dialog appearing.
