      You are better off using an install creator, like this free one here: http://clickteam.com/eng/installcreator.php .

        Hi, interesting, my VS always copies a Setup.exe and a ini file to the output folder. Those are generally always the same and just startup the MSI. There are also such executables available where you can check and install the .NET framework if required. If you want I can send you those - just drop me an email. Only issue might be that I have only tested it with .Net 1.1 projects so I'm not sure if it works with .Net 2.0. Robert
