You could create an installer for this dll only. If you want to support
the installers for a full product lifecycle, it would be better to
consider WiX for creating your installers.

You can find information at http://wix.sourceforge.net/

To carry this even a step further, how do I detect the VERSION of .NET...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
