Hi all

I am using VS2005, How can I deploy the .Net Framework from my setup
project?

In the bootstrapper setup program we have below 3 options

1.Download prerequisites from the component vendor's web site
2.Download prerequisites from the same location as my application
3.Download prerequisites from the following location

I have added Framework 2.0 (dotnetfx.exe) in my application folder of
my Setup & Deployment project

While installing my setup project in client side, i want to take the
framework from my setup not from any other website or intranet
location, How we can achieve this?

any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,
I don't know how to do this in code, however if you use Xenocode it has an
interresting feature: you can embed the framework directly into the
assemblies while obfuscating them, it adds about 10-11 megs, but i thaught
that was well cool, and it does the job

You can't. That's why there are several bootstrappers to install the
framework, then launch the MSI file, just like VS 2005 does. Explanation
