VC# Studio Setup Project 2010: Set Prerequisite to .Net 2.0 or HIGHER?

guys!

Is there any way to set required .Net Framework in a more universal way? I mean to set 2.0 if we install app under WinXp and 4.0 if we are under Vista or Win7?

Thanks,

Why would you want to set the requirements depending on the target OS ? You want to set your requirements depending on ... your requirements ! If you are using .net 4 features, and the target framework in your project is defined as being .Net 4, the required framework will be 4.

IF you arent using .Net 4 features, in your project properties, just set the client target to .Net 2.0 for example.

You can do so by right clicking your project, properties, then under the build tab, click on Advanced options/settings, and at the bottom you can see the target framework, which you can change.

Edit : Obviously, in the VSI you can change the requirements, but by default, it uses the the "real" requirements. If you want to change the requirements in the Visual Studio Installer project, right click on that project -> properties -> Required Components
