Warn user of .NET Framework requirements
- by moogs
So I have an app (tool) that uses .NET 3.0. When run on a machine that only has .NET 2.0 (like the default Server 2008 R2 install) it crashes miserably.
What I've seen so far is that people are using a shunt that will first check the .NET version.
Is there a way to build it or add some manifest somehow so that the user is warned of this problem (and hopefully be prompted to install .NET)?
I know this can be solved by an installer, but I have requirements that need it to be a standalone executable.
