Your application won't even start up if it's a .NET app and the framework
isn't installed.
You might want to check out the following:

Note the resources referenced at the bottom of the article, particularly the
third one. Haven't tried it yet, but it looks like a great way to install
both the framework *and* MDAC, which can be missing or an old version on the
target system too. If you need any sort of DB access that can also be a
show-stopper.

Hi again,
Paul and Dan, thanks for the dotnetfx.exe info!
In general, I have a C# app, being distributed on a cd, no installation
program. Is there any common code that I could use in the application
startup for detecting that the user needs to install .net framework and
throw up a simple dialog pointing to location of dotnetfx.exe I am going
to
redistribute?
Thanks again!
Derrick
