Specifies a ___location from which the user can download files if a launch condition evaluates to False. If this property contains a value, a dialog box containing Yes and No buttons is displayed, along with the message specified in the Message property.

Settings
The settings for the InstallUrl property are as follows:
Setting |
Description |
|---|---|
(Blank) |
The dialog box will not be displayed; the standard Windows Installer termination dialog box will be shown instead. |
URL |
Uses the format https://server/path/, where server and path define a valid Internet or intranet Web page. .gif "Note") Note
If the URL is not valid, the user does not have a Web connection, or the user does not have a Web browser installed, this will fail.
|
UNC path |
Uses the format \\server\share, where server and share define a valid network file share. Note
The user must have access permissions for the file share.
|
File path |
The path of the ___location of the file, relative to the ___location of the installer, for example, \My Application\MyFile.exe. Primarily used when you are deploying on redistributable media such as a CD-ROM. |

|---|
If the Bootstrapper property for the deployment project is set to Web Bootstrapper, you should only specify a URL. Specifying a UNC path or file path could allow files to be downloaded without any security prompt, creating a security risk for users. For more information, see Build, Configuration Properties, Deployment Project Properties Dialog Box. |
Remarks
The .NET Framework Launch Condition sets the InstallUrl property to .NET Framework 4.0, which redirects to a Microsoft Support Web page that contains a downloadable installer for the .NET Framework. For all other launch conditions, the InstallUrl property is blank by default.
Note
If your application requires a different version of the .NET Framework, you will have to override the InstallUrl property and provide your own ___location. For more information, see .NET Framework Launch Condition. In addition, if you change the InstallUrl property, you should also change the Message property to a more appropriate message. For more information, see Message Property (Launch Conditions).
