Automatic check/Install of 1.1 Framework during Setup

[David Webb]

Hi,
I've created a setup application for my app and currently it checks
for the .NET framework installation. If it doesn't exist, it prompts
the user to download from the internet. The file is located on the
disk - how can I make setup use that file if it doesn't find it
installed? I've googled but all I've come up with is a version 1
framework setup bootstrap file.

Any help or links to instructions/files would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

David.
