    hi 1- i want to deploy a project and i want to embed .net framework 2.0 in my setup.exe. how is it in vs 2005. i looked up msdn and found Bootstrapper but it is just for 2003. is it integrated in vs 2005? 2- when i set "FormBorderStyle" of a form to "FixedDialog", "FixedSingle" or "Fixed3D" the user is not able to resize it. but when user double click on the caption of the window it just go full screen! i think its not a fixedDialog property. -- modified at 7:14 Thursday 17th August, 2006

      Hello 1- Make a new "Setup Project". Set the prerequisites from the settings of your setup project to include .Net framework Check the "... same location as my application" radiobutton below. 2- Even if you make the BorderFrameStyle Fixed, you have to remove the maximize button from the title bar to prevent maximizing -MaximizeButton = false;-. And dialogs can not be maximized;) Regards:rose:

          Do some research. [Hint: Try using NSIS and don't embed dotnetfx, just reference the file (makes the installer smaller), if the file doesn't exist (i.e. someone downloaded your installer, then provide the option to download it from MSDN]

            Hello I told you to set the location to "same location as my application". This way when you compile your program the setup project will make a subfolder for each prerequisite inside the output folder. Regards:rose:
