How to package .Net framework in Visual Studio project?
- by raj.tiwari
I have created a C#/.Net application using visual studio. I have also created an installer project that puts out two files:
An MSI file
Setup.exe file
In my installer project properties I have setup .Net 3.5 as a prerequisite.
What I would like my installer to do as as follows:
Put out a single file (MSI/exe/whatever) that also includes .Net framework prerequisite
The installer should check whether .Net framework is installed on the target machine. If not, it should install it from its own bundled copy.
Right now my installer sends people to the web for getting .Net. This is not the user experience I want.
Thanks for your help.
