Hi,
Is “windowsbase.dll” part of any of the version of .net framework? I have googled it lot but unable to find proper answer, can anyone please tell me about that.
Thanks,

It looks like .NET 3.0+ as far as I can tell.

It's .NET 3.0 and above. Why would you need to reference this .DLL anyway??

All my WPF apps reference it

Yeah, and it's included by default when you create a new app/control/whatever. It's kind of like settings a reference to System.dll. This makes me wonder why he's looking for it, or if he understands what it is.

I use it in my MoXAML Power Toys add-in (in the DLL portion) because I needed access to certain WPF features in the DLL, so I had to manually add the reference to it there. The only time I could see you having to set it would be in a situation similar to this.

He might have just have been clueless about its purpose if he had never saw it in a project before.

Actually I am in setup team and we ship "windowsbase.dll" along with our product setup when we used to compile our project in VS 2005 using .net framework 2.0 but after shifting our product to VS 2008, framework 3.5 I got the task to find out whether that DLL is a part of .net framework 3.5, so that we should not ship that, that’s why I asked that question over here.
Thanks for the answer.

Yes it is.

Thanks too.

Ahh! I little more explanation of what you were doing probably would have helped. Like someone else said, it's one of the base .DLL's for WPF support in .NET, so it was a little strange that you'd be asking about just that one.

Hey Guys,
I have a .net application that obviously has the .net framework as a prerequisite.
Using Visual Studio 2005 & .net Framework 2.0.
If a user has .net framework installed then I have no problem because only my application is installed.
If the user does not have the .net framework installed then he is automatically notified that .net framework must be installed.
For an untrained user this can be an alarming message.
Does anybody know of a technique in which I can show the user a custom message of my own before the .net framework installation runs?
Thanks,
Michael

I don't know. Did you have a read through some material on the subject like this?[^]

First of all, thank you for the great link with a huge amound of resources...
I have spent the last few hours going through them and have not found an answer to my question.
Is there anyway to control the dialogs shown throughout the clickonce installation?
Is there a way to edit the bootstap attached to the dotnetfx.exe?
Anybody have a creative idea?

You mean this page[^] wouldn't do what you described??
|
|
|
|
|
I saw this resource...
It's a good idea to have the webpage with the installation notify the user that he will need .net....
It's not what I am looking for, I would like the program itself to do this.
I do appreciate the links though.
Any ideas?

You mean like this?[^]
You can then modify the Prerequisites dialog (off of the Publish tab from your project designer, or the setup project property page)

Hey,
Once again thank you for taking the time to search for an answer.
I believe you quoted this part of the link:
Alternatively, you could host all relevant packages internally on some share or server. You can then modify the Prerequisites dialog (off of the Publish tab from your project designer, or the setup project property page) to "Download prerequisites from the following location" to the appropriate location.
Unfortunately he is only referring to changing the settings so that dotnetfx is downloaded from a local path instead of from the official website of microsoft dotnetfx.
I am searching to add a custom dialog to show up before the prerequisite dotnetfx.exe.
Sorry for being a pest. Anybody have any creative ideas?

Sure it is, but it also references modifying the Prerequisites dialog. Did you even bother to check it out before you dismissed it?

Hey Mike,
Funny, my name is Mike too...
Quoting the link you sent me:
"You can then modify the Prerequisites dialog (off of the Publish tab from your project designer, or the setup project property page) to "Download prerequisites from the following location" to the appropriate location."
I don't think that the author meant that you can modify the prerequisites dialog itself.
I think he meant that you can modify the prerequisites dialog - the dialog responsible for controlling the clickonce from within the visual studio 2005 developers IDE.
You have an option from the visual studio to state that the prerequisite will be taken from the official website (microsoft) or "Download prerequisites from the following location" - a location of your choice.
As you can see, I defintely read what you sent me and would never dismiss a friend's offer for help  .
Bottom line - he was not talking about configuring the installation\clickonce dialog that the user sees. He was talking about where the prerequisite is taken from.
I hope I am clear about what I mean.
So... Does anybody have any creative ideas? I am feeling kinda dumb at the moment ?

Yes, I now see that I misinterpreted his statement due to my lack of experience with the subject. My bad.
Have you ever worked directly with MSI tables perhaps using something like the Orca tool?[^] Everything is in tables in the MSI and tools like Orca give you unrestricted access to them for editing purposes. Technically you could develop an entire install from the ground up by hand. Oh man that hurts just thinking about it, I need a beer now. ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif)

Hey Mike,
Hope you enjoyed the cold one.
So I would use this tool to edit the MSI of the dotnetfx.exe?
