Create AutoRun app Installation CD for windows machine without Framework 2.0

[justinz]

I am deploying auto lauch DVD or CD to run my VB.NET application installation. How can I create an autorun app to check if .NET framework 2.0 existence before starting VB.NET application installation? I am assuming there is no internet connection and not Framework 2.0 for the machine.

Thanks,


Justin

This applies to VS 2003 / .Net 1.1:

Both for ClickOnce and Setup projects in VS2005 the bootstrapper checks for Prerequisites like .Net Framework before doing app setup.

He's using VS 2003, which also has the .Net framework pre-requisite check, but I think he's wanting the installer to install the .net framework from the cd (if it's not present) right before his app gets installed by the .net installer

It didn't when I was using it, but there was a bootstrapper plugin available, perhaps easier. justinz sounded very convinced requesting .Net 2.0 support though.

That is true, I looked at his VS version that's set in his profile instead of the VS version in the thread title.
