URGENT: need help installing framework!

i have a c# app that needs to somehow detect if the .NET framework is
installed or not and if it isnt then do a silent install. My program is very
small and i would like it to remain on a cd and not have to use an installer.
The target environment is an unknown and i want my .exe to work as seamlessly
as possible whether or not the Framework is previously installed.

A C# app requires the .Net framework to be installed therefore, if it
is not installed, the C# app cannot even start so it cannot detect the
..Net framework.

There is a product that has been mentioned in these groups called
"Thinstall" that somehow links in all the necessary .Net .dlls directly
into the app so you can run it without the .Net framework being
installed.

It seems to be a nice program, but, unless you work for a big company,
they don't make it easy for you to even get a demo. Their attitude is
basically, "If you're not a big company, we don't want to waste our
time with you".

In any case, do a search on Google or on these forums and you should
find the links to their site and can decide for yourself if it meets
your needs. It is expensive though ($4000).

Good Luck!
