Qubes OS version
R4.0 (4.0.1)

Affected component(s) or functionality
QWT installer service-policy

Brief summary
During QWT install on clean Windows 8/10 HVM, the user is prompted to download .NET 3.5 runtime from Windows Update. The HVM might not have a network connection or the user might not want to install other unnecessary software.

To Reproduce

  1. Run QWT installer on a "clean" Win 8/10 HVM (.NET 4.0+ preinstalled)
  2. Proceed with default settings
  3. During install, user is prompted to download .NET 3.5 runtime, this may not be possible (or at best it's inconvenient)

Expected behavior
service-policy should run on newer .NET runtime versions, since the framework is designed to be backward compatible.

Actual behavior
service-policy doesn't run on .NET 4.0+ due to lack of an app config file.
