LoadDotNetFromSystem?

[bobbovine]

I noticed this in a 4.6 package ini. Doesn't seem to have made it into the documentation yet. Any additional info?

; Enable this option to load .Net binaries from the system instead of the package on Windows 7

;LoadDotNetFromSystem=Win7

IIRC,

This is to solve a problem where the WinXP .Net runtime is incompatible with Win7.

In case the

runtime is part of the package and we should ignore it and use the locally

installed runtime instead. to enable this,

LoadDotNetFromSystem=win7 is required.

Are there alternate acceptable values? For example, I captured this truely horrid Excel 2007 addin on an XP SP3 box. It uses .NET. It works fine on XP, but seems to be throwing .NET errors on XP64. I can instruct the runtime to use the local .NET framework on Win7 can I also tell it to use the native XP64 runtime (even though it's a 32-bit addin and is supposed to be using the exact same 32-bit runtime on XP64, I however have absolutely no confidence in the addin or in the company that generated it)?

Not really, on other OS it is ignored.
