Hi Tim,
As for setup project's prerequisite, the url to download product you
mentioend is called "HomeSite" link. Based on my experience, not all the
products or redistributable package has such a directly HOMTSITE link,
however, for most products, you can use its mapping url(from
go.microsoft.com ) as its HOMTSITE link. Here is a forum thread wihch
mentioned the mapping url for V J# redist package:
#Visual J# Redistributable Package v2.0.50727
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/Sho...94999&SiteID=1
Hope this helps .
Sincerely,

For the .Net framework 3.0, the download link is...
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=70848
If I'm creating an installer, how do I find the permalink for
redistributables? For example, I need to package the Visual J# 2.0SE
redist,
>how do I find the permalink for it? If I look at the target of the URL for
downloading I end up with:
http://www.microsoft.com/Downloads/i...layLang=en&Src
CategoryId=&SrcFamilyId=e9d87f37-2adc-4c32-95b3-b5e3a21bab2c&u=http%3a%2f%2f
download.microsoft.com%2fdownload%2f9%2f2%2f3%2f92 338cd0-759f-4815-8981-24b4

Which I'm not convinced is a good thing to be linking to. So the question
is, how do I find the LinkIds for the various redists I have to package up?
