Deployment

I am building an installer for my app using VS 2003 setup project. Installer
is checking is there .NET framework installed on a target machine, and by
default redirects to MS download page if there is no framework. I would like
to redistribute .NET framework within my .msi package. Can I do so, and how
can I make installer to call .NET framework installer from within my .msi
package???

Thanks for any help!!!

Hi,

Take a look at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...depguid1_1.asp

It links several articles of how to do that.

Hope this help,

I don't suppose there's a utililty the looks at an assembly via reflection
and produces a .Net setup that contains only those modules need for the
particular app? Don't know how much of a savings it would be (and it's not
good for the grand-scheme of .net distribution unless MS's setup grocked
partial setups), but until everyone has XP or has the framework installed
from other apps., 23MB seems pretty hard for modem users to swallow.
