Detecting .NET8 with Inno Setup and InnoDependenciyInstaller

 Programing Coderfunda     April 06, 2024     No comments   

I am looking at using InnoDependencyInstaller and it has a function that it uses under the hood:


Dependency_AddDotNet80
procedure Dependency_AddDotNet80;
begin
To detect .NET 8 using Inno Setup, you can use a combination of registry checks and custom code execution. Here's a basic example of how you can achieve this:

1. **Registry Check**: Check the registry to see if .NET 8 is installed. .NET 8 would be installed under a registry key specific to its version.

2. **Custom Code Execution**: If the registry check indicates .NET 8 is not installed, you can prompt the user to install it. You can execute custom code to check for the presence of .NET 8 assemblies or use InnoDependencyInstaller to install .NET 8 automatically.

Below is a sample script demonstrating how you can accomplish this:

```pascal
[Setup]
AppName=MyApp
AppVersion=1.0
DefaultDirName={pf}\MyApp

[Code]
function IsDotNet8Installed: Boolean;
var
  regKey: string;
begin
  // Check the registry to see if .NET 8 is installed
  regKey := 'Software\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v8\Full';
  Result := RegKeyExists(HKLM, regKey) or RegKeyExists(HKCU, regKey);
end;

procedure InstallDotNet8;
begin
  // Custom code to install .NET 8 or use InnoDependencyInstaller
  // Example:
  // ShellExec('open', 'https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/8.0', '', '', SW_SHOWNORMAL, ewNoWait, ErrorCode);
end;

function InitializeSetup: Boolean;
begin
  // Check if .NET 8 is installed
  if not IsDotNet8Installed then
  begin
    // Prompt the user to install .NET 8
    if MsgBox('This application requires .NET 8. Would you like to install it now?', mbConfirmation, MB_YESNO) = IDYES then
    begin
      InstallDotNet8;
      Result := False; // Abort setup
      Exit;
    end
    else
    begin
      // .NET 8 not installed and user declined installation
      MsgBox('.NET 8 is required to install this application. Setup will now exit.', mbError, MB_OK);
      Result := False; // Abort setup
      Exit;
    end;
  end;

  // .NET 8 is installed, continue setup
  Result := True;
end;
```

In this script:

- `IsDotNet8Installed` function checks the registry to see if .NET 8 is installed.
- `InstallDotNet8` procedure executes custom code to install .NET 8 or launches a browser to download it.
- `InitializeSetup` function is called before the setup begins. It checks if .NET 8 is installed. If not, it prompts the user to install it.

You may need to adjust the registry key path based on the specific registry location where .NET 8 is installed on your system. Additionally, replace the `InstallDotNet8` procedure with the appropriate code to install .NET 8 or utilize InnoDependencyInstaller to handle the installation automatically.
