Hi All !

When Imaking the setup Package with the VS.NET it seems to be doing quite well but when Im trying to install the application to another machine - It fails right at the beginning. The error is - "You need to have the .NET Framework".

How can I include the Framework itself to my package or where I can just download it or JUST GET IT SOMEHOW ???????? SOMEWHERE ??????

Thanks!
Respectfully L!o.
 
To deploy it with the application you must use a bootstrap loader. This checks if the Net Framework is installed and if it is not runs the NetFramwork installer. After which it runs your application installer. MS have a simple bootstrapper for FREE download. You just edit the ".ini" file to point to the correct files.

With .Net, I dont assume anyone has a cd. Since all the core
components are basically a free download, and cheap/free
third-party IDEs are starting to appear, who knows what anyone
has.
