Simple Question
-
If .net isnt installed, my app wont run. Can i get it to display a message saying that the user needs to install it? (I'm doubtful that you can but, you never know...)
You might create a proxy application that does not use .NET. This first checks if the .NET runtimes are installed and the decides whether to display an error or to start the .NET applocation. /cadi 24 hours is not enough

No,this tool is provided by Microsoft Check it out[^],and it the .NET redistibutable with it and it will check if .net isn't present it will launch the .NET setup and then Your application immidete after the .NET setup is finished,if the .NEt is already installed it will launch your your application setup.

Like cadi said, you have to write a proxy application that checks for the existance of the .NET Framework, preferrably the correct version of it. Then it launches your application is the requirement is met. The catch is, you can't use C#, J#, or any of the Managed languages to do this. It either has to be written in unmanaged C++ or some other language that doesn't need the .NET Framework to run.
