Unfortunately there are no .NET 4.6.2 prerequisites or conditions in InstallShield 2016. If you have the Professional or Premier edition, you could create your own prerequisite using the Prerequsite editor. I'd suggest using the 4.6.1. PRQ as a template.

One year and an IS service pack since .NET 4.6.2 was released, but there's still no way to require it in an installation?

As I understand, you can't actually install .NET with an .msi installer. Correct me if I'm wrong. So since we distribute .msi installers, I don't want it to actually install .NET, I just want it to detect if it is installed and abort if not. Is a PRQ or some other InstallShield function capable of doing that? Or should I just write some InstallScript to use the registry to detect the .NET installation?

I think it depends on the .NET version and the Windows version. But if I recall correctly, the prerequisite will take care of this.
If you just wnat to check for .NET then instead add an install condition (which you will also have to adjust for 4.6.2)
