Is there a way to create a VB.NET application without having the client
download the 20+ megs of .NET framework? Just seems impractical for people
on dial-up. How are you handling this situation?
Thanks,

No, you need the 20+ MB .NET Framework runtime. For that reason, .NET is not
suitable for dial-up downloads. You need broad-band, CD distribution or to
use VB6 instead.

Why don't you use Winzip Self Exrtractor to install the application instead
of the Windows Installer?
Yes, you still need the framework for the application to function, but at
least this way you wont HAVE to download the framwork.
Look at it a different way: What percentage of computers aren't running the
framework these days?
Check out the conversation titled 'Stand Alone EXE' by me (David Pendrey) on
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb. We are having a very similar
discussion and there has been a program mentioned which aparently can make a
..EXE program which does not require the .NET framework to be installed

Crouchie, Yes, you still need the framework for the application to function, but at least this way you wont HAVE to download the framwork.
I add to this message the last time "when it is not installed" why people in
this newsgroup think forever that that is not done already.
Just to let you know,
Cor
Thanks.
How is this handled:
"Things like Thinstall do definitely
have advantages, but if a bug crops up in a .NET component, how do you patch
it? You need to tell your users (it becomes a problem in YOUR code, rather
than the framework) rather than letting them just get updates via Windows
Update etc."
