Hi,

I have built an application in C# and .net and I want to install it to the
users. But I dont know if the users has DotNetFramework 1.1 installed.
So I want my instyallation to include the framework, and install it if
needed. The only way that I has found to do this is with the Bootstrap
example.
But thats no good beacuse that means that the runfile is an exe, and I want
to "shoot" out my application with help of my AD (Active Directory) and that
requires an MSI Package. Which my deploymentproject creates, but thats
without the bootstrap and dotnetfx.

So is there any way I can include the framework in my installation so that
it installes it if neaded and the runfile for the installation is an MSI
file, which I get from my deployment project. Or does the DotNetFramework
1.1 exist in a MSI Package version, so that I can install it through the AD
before I install my application?

Very greateful for any tips or info.

/Robert

Hi Robert

Take a look at this. There is section part way down describing how to create a distributable .NET Framework package for use with AD..

Ok, that looks good.

Thanks for the help Gary!!!

But its pretty bad that you can´t set a property in your deploymentproject
so that it includes the DotNetFramework and installes it if neaded with the
application you are installing.
