[wix-users] supportedFramework versions

[William Fisher]

More follow up, sorry for spamming (last time until I get a reply for this
issue):

For supportedRuntime tag:

According to Microsoft (
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/configure-apps/file-schema/startup/supportedruntime-element),
the following are true:

Preferred supportedRuntime first (4.0, sku=4.6.2), least preferred last
(3.5, written as "2.0.50727").  So, since we'd LIKE them to have 4.6.2, but
we can get by with 3.5, I have them in this order:

  <startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
    <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.6.2" />
    <supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727" />
  </startup>

For supportedFramework tag, I've tried a variety of solutions, including no
supportedFramework tag at all, <supportedFramework version="v4.0" /> by
itself, or with <supportedFramework version="v3.5">, or just v3.5 on its
own.

THanks for any suggestions,
Bill
