[wix-devs] v4 - which .NET Framework?

[John Cooper]

I think 4.5.2.  What I've seen of 4.6 is that most of my development teams (with one exception) want to move directly to 4.6.1.  But I don't want to jump to 4.6.1 for my bootstrappers because I'm afraid I'll fail less gracefully, and I'm not enthused about install a lot of .NET as a pre-requisite for my bootstrappers if I can avoid it and get a graceful fail for my applications.  My FI's (Financial Institutions) don't necessarily have a lot of 4.6.1 on their servers and especially their terminal servers.

So v4.5.2 or v4.6.0?

I'm still leaning towards v4.5.2.

My vote would be for installing the newest .Net framework that will install on all the OS's we support, but only do it if the minimum required version is not present. I don't like the idea of installing unsupported or older versions just because it's the minimum requirement.
