Frameworks and Check/Install

Hi,
A previous question about sharing applications had a response that I need to
make sure the other computers I was sharing my VB.NET application needed to
have the Framework installed.

I got through that and manually installed the dotnetfx.exe file on the other
computer.

But as I want to share this program with a larger audience I realize I
should potentially package it for deployment where when the user goes to
install the program, the installation process can check to see if Frameworks
is already installed on the computer. And if not then it can install it (
even silently - I do understand the need to let people know of the system
requirements)

I looked up in the knowledge base here and cannot seem to find the complete
information to creating the process for it. They say there is an example,
but I do not seem to be able to find it.

And then that leads to how do I know if I should be working with Framework
1.0 or 1.1?

Thanks for you help.

In VB.Net 2003, If you use the setup wizard, it will automatically check for
the needed framework version on the target computer. It also will include
the dotnetfix file in the distribution package along with a program
"setup.exe" . If the framework is not installed, the installer user will get
a message that the framework is needed. In your documentation for the
applicaiton, you can instruct the user to run the setup.exe file to install
the framework then reinstall your application. At least this is the way I
think it works from reading the documentation. I don't believe that there is
a way to install the framework automatically without the user intervention
unless you write a non .net installer.

The problem is my version of VB.NET did not have the set-up wizard. So I
have to create the deployment information by hand. Is there a why to get the
wizard?
