I guess you mean the .net framework and not the sdk. If so, take a look at 1 of these articles: Visual Studio 2005 http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/04/10/Bootstrapper/ Visual Studio 2003 http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/downloads/tools/bootstrapper/ I'm in the high-fidelity first class traveling set. And I think I need a Lear jet.

You can use many installers, but my favourite is Inno Setup. It's free and even for commercial use. If you're not familiar with installers, you can download also IS Tool, which creates your setup project using step wizard. You'll have two items in the "Files" category there. The one is a directory (or just executable) of your app, and the second is the Framework SDK (marked as decompressed into {tmp} (temporary) directory, so its installer will be deleted after whole installation). Now add this file in the "Install Run" category, so that it will be runned after installation of your app. If you want to install it before your application, you have to create a setup component. To make the installation quiet, the SDK installer have to be runned with some parameter ("/q" I think). Hope this helps.

Thank you very much Itinka, I dont have much experience in Installers. If you are able to guide me clearly about how to install SDK with the parameter like "/q" will be helpful for me. Anyway thank you very much for your immediate reponse. Regards Mukilan.P.S

Dear Itinka, How to pass the command line arguement switches which supports the install.exe. From where to pass this command line arguements from the setup project. Only one window should be there which is a progress bar and all other installations should be done at the background without any clicks or user interaction. First it should install the .Net Framework 2.0, which will reflect in the progress bar, then it should start automatically the application and it should ececute and installed in the same manner by a single click. All the changes should reflect in the progress bar. Can u please guide me on this requirement. Regards Mukilan.P.S
