Deploying applications over the web

I have created a few applications which I want to allow users to download
from my website.

I have copied everything from the Release folder of the applications
deployment project and placed them in a folder in the website's root folder.

I then set a hyperlink to the Setup.exe file in the folder using <a
href="FolderName/Setup.exe">Application name</a>

When I try to download these applications I am told that the Setup.ini file
cannot be found in my Content.IE5 folder.

Can any point me in the right direction?

Perhaps i have mistaken your problem but have you packaged your application
as an msi file? If not, you should try doing it that way.

I originally had the msi files available for download but some users
complained that they did not have the .NET Framework installed. This is why
I created a bootstrapper and deployed the setup.exe's instead.
