.Net Framework Installer

I have an application I wrote (using VB.net 2003) that I
wish to distribute on CD-ROM. The application is
intended to run from CD without requiring an install on
the user's machine. But I don't want the user to get the
error message, "The application failed to initialize"
because they do not have the .Net framework.

Is there an application that will check for the .Net
framework and install it if necessary before my managed
code application is executed?

If not, is there another way of ensuring the framework is
installed before my application is run without making the
user install my application?

Thanks for the help in advance.

Jason Estes
