Help with deployment?

[SAL]

Hello,
I've created a setup and deployment project for my application. VS2005
automatically included a launch condition for the .net framework 2.0. I
changed the InstallUrl path Property to just the name of the redistributable
(dotnetfx.exe), which is in the same folder as my setup.exe and setup.msi.
However, when I go to install on my test box, which does not have 2.0 of the
framework installed, it tries to download the framework from some
unspecified location. Shouldn't it be trying to grab it from the same
location as the installer (i.e., the setup.msi file)?

This is confusing me a bit. It's my first VS2005 setup and deployment
project.

Thanks for any help

HI Sal
You have to change the mode from under prerequisities. On your setup
project, right click and choose properties. On the properties page, you
should see a button that says "Prerequisities". Choose the framework from
the list and specify to download it from the same location as the
application. That should do it.
Regards
Parag

Oh thanks Parag. I didn't see that little tidbit in the documentation...
