SetUp and Deployment with all prerequisites
-
I made this SetUp project using VS 2005, that works fine. The only thing is that when select prequisites from project properties, I select .NET Framework 2.0, then I select 'Install from the same location' it builds fine. VS creates a folder in the bin>>debug dir. called dotnetfx, BUT, when I run the setup on another machine where .net 2.0 is not there, I recieve the Message box That .NET 2.0 is not installed ..blah blah blah.. I also tried to delete the Launch condition of .NET Framework , it does not go.... I searched on the net and found http://visualbasic.about.com/od/usingvbnet/a/SetupProj01\_2.htm I added the prerequisites but still, it doesn't install WHY?

Hi, You are telling the installer that dotnetfx MUST be installed first AND that if it isn't then dotnetfx.exe can be found in the same location as your program AND to run that first. If this is what you want to do then you will have to distribute dotnetfx bundled with your program.
