Deploy .net 2.0

I have an application on our network for installing printers at any location
in our organization. So someone from town A can install printers from town B
across our VPN with a single click and no knowledge of printers, drivers,
etc. The issue I have is that .net 2.0 isn't on everyones computer... well
not on any except mine and each of our servers. I tried publishing it in the
group policy (using VPC and a test environment) and I get errors during what
should be the installation:

Product: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 -- 1: ALLUSERS property is not 1 -
this MSM cannot be used for a per-user or fallback-to-per-user install 2:

I don't see anyway to specify it to install for all users, there is no ini
for the MSI file, just the exe file which isn't used by Group Policy and
Group Policy doesn't list an option. It is set to install through User
Configuration > Software Settings > Software installation since in Computer
Configuration it greyed out the install at logon box in the properties. Has
anyone had luck deploying 2.0 to a network? Will it be offered on Windows
Update soon? All of our systems apply approved updates through WSUS each day.

Thanks,
Chris Balmer
 
Hi Chris,
Welcome to Newsgroup!

DotNet 2.0 will be included in WindowsUpdate in the future. If you aren't
urgent currently, you can wait for it to deploy DotNet Framework 2.0.

If you are urgent and want to use group policy to deploy, it would be
better to post this question in the following
newsgroup("microsoft.public.windows.group_policy").The reason why we
recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of
respondents, and other partners who the newsgroups regularly can either
share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Also, this is
to make sure that the responders can better track the problem. Thanks for
your understanding!

Best Regards,
