Hi Leslie,

Thank you posting!

From the description, you want to your installation package could also be
run in the system which only has the .NET 2.0 framework installed. Please
correct me if I misunderstood anything.

Is there a way to modify the .msi file (with Orca or with script)
to remove or relax this runtime version checking requirement?

I think the corresponding setup project is created by Visual Studio 2003.
If so, I suggest you can add the .NET Framework 2.0's version number to its
corresponding launch conditions "SupportedRuntimes" property.

To achieve this, just open that setup project in VS2003 IDE, right click
the setup project node in the Solution Explorer, in its context menu choose
'View | Launch Conditions'. Then in the left 'Launch Conditions' view
window right click the ".NET Framework" entry, in its context menu select
Properties Window. Then in the upcoming Properties window, add the .NET
Framework 2.0's version number to the ""SupportedRuntimes" item, delimited
by a semicolon, such as:

1.1.4322;2.0.50727

At the end, rebuild the setup project.

I hope the above information helps, if you have any questions or concerns,
please do not hesitate to let me know. I am standing by to help you.

Thanks!

Best regards,

Gary Chang
