Question Is there any way to bundle .NET 3.5 in the installation progam?

[Vermiculus]

In Visual Studio Professional:

I need to bundle the .NET Framework as to not need an internet connection to run setup. I should use the redistributable package, but I don't know how to run it in setup.

The term is called 'Bootstrapping', doing a google search and a forum search on that word should result in a lot of examples.

 

[Vermiculus]

But the .NET bootstrapper requires an Internet connection.

Can you 'bootstrap' the entire framework?

Or possibly run the redistributable on Install? (before it actually installs the application)

No, "bootstrapper" is the configuration of the setup.exe.
