    If that heading caught your attention... Good - I was trying... :D If you know of any solutions to having such a big setup or distribution file for my c# app could you please help me? Perhaps some way of building a setup that only embeds the needed libraries for my app... I dont want any online installers... just the smallest possible deployment of my application. Thanx in advance guys! ;P Dax

      You're best option is to include a link to the .NET Framework runtime installation. Your app's setup size would already be as small as possible as a seperate install. Your only other option would be to use one of the tools that compiles the required .NET assmeblies into your .EXE, but be prepared to shell out BIG money for these tools. There are no free ones that do this...

        Take a look at NSIS. Provides a very small self-contained executable for installing stuff.

          I thought he was complaining about the "weight" of the .NET Framework runtime install...
