When building a setup program, is it better to set conditional statements such as having the setup program install certain components needed in order to run the application. For example, if deploying an application, would it make more sense to have the setup program search the user's computer for required components such as the .NET framework. If the setup program does not detect this, it would automatically install on the user's PC. Also, what is the standard practice in software development and whether there is a downside to doing this? Or is it best to let the user install the missing components on their own? Vi
