Deploying windows applications
-
This is my first time deploying a windows application. I am able to deploy it correctly but I need some help with deploying it to a computer which doesn't have the .net framework installed. I am using visual studio 2002 with framework 1.0. Most example's only explain the framework 1.1. How is this done? Thanks:) Beginner in VB.Net

The machine you deploy your application to must have the Framework installed. The method of installation hasn't changed between 1.0 and 1.1. The examples you found for 1.1 will work with the 1.0 Framework. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

How do I check to see if it does and if it doesn't install framework 1.0? Dotnetfx.exe can be redistributed with your setup. How do you do this? Thanks:) Beginner in VB.Net
It's called "bootstrapping". You can't include the .NET Redistributable in the .MSI that contains your application because one of the pre-launch conditions for install is that the .NET Framework already be installed! So, you must use a non-.NET managed application as a Setup program to check for the required software that must be installed, and unpackage and launch the appropriate installers for them, then, lastly, launch the .MSI setup for your application. See this[^] excellent article on CodeProject for an example and explanation. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome
