Deployment Problem

[Rakesh Rao]

Hey All!!
Am trying to make a setup.msi file out of my visual basic dot net project. But it requires the dotnet framework as a prerequisite on the target machine. I want to remove that from my setup and want to make a freely redistributable package.
Please help me out if there is some way to:
1. Either include the framework runtime to my project while making a setup.
2. Make a setup that does'nt require the frameword prerequisite.

Thanks a lot in Advance.

Hi Rakesh,
there is no alternative for framework ... it is required if you want to run a .NET application. About the first question. well, you can do that but you have to use Plug-in named bootstrapper (to install framework together with app) http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/downloads/tools/bootstrapper/

HTH
