Automise Installation With Alternate CLR Hosting Option

Automise Discussion
1

When installing Automise (1.5.0.311), the CLR Hosting value under the Options -> .NET Tools seems to always default to v2.0. Is there a way to set what CLR Hosting version to use on install?  If not, where are these settings stored? I am looking to deploy the tool as part of a larger kit and I would like to have it install with correct settings for my application without having to remember to go in and change them.  If there is a registry value or config file I could update that would be supreme.

Thanks

Hi Jeremy,

What CLR version do you need to host? Automise should default to the newest version of the CLR available on the installed machine.

PS It’s worth noting that .NET Framework 3.0 actually uses the CLR version 2.0, so these versions are actually the same.

I have both .NET 1.1 and 2.0 installed, and for my purposes I need Automise set for the 1.1 Framework as the custom actions that have been created are using this version and right now its not possible for me to convert them to be compatible with .NET 2.0. I am not sure if on my side I can (meaning if I am allowed) to uninstall the .NET 2.0 framework or not so that could be an option, but still if there is a way to set the CLR version that would be great.

Hi Jeremey

You could modify the Automise2.ini file which is located in (on xp) [systemdrive]:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VSoft\Automise2 or (vista) [systemdrive]:\ProgramData\VSoft\Automise2

This is the setting you need to change.

[CLRHOST]
HostedFrameworkVersion=v2.0

Note that this ini file probably doesn’t exist if you are installing for the first time, so you will need to create it as part of your deployment.

HTH
