Hello All;

When I deploy my application (which consists of an executable and a config
file), does the user need the .NET framework installed on his machine for my
app to run or does the Setup Wizard distribute the required components along
with my executable?

TIA,
 
Hello Joe,
The system should have the appropriate framework installed on the
system to run your application. You can also include the dotnet
framework with the setup file if you want to.

Hope it helps..

Joe,

AFAIK you need to install the .NET Framework first.

You can configure the setup to abort if the Framework does not exist
but I don't think you auto install the Framework if it doesn't exist.

Yes, the user does need to have the .NET framework installed in order to
use your application. It is possible to bootstrap the framework installer.
I don't have code handy to do that, but you should be able to find it with
a search.

Any app that was developed with VS2005 can only run on a computer that
has the .NET Framework 2.0 installed. If your app is installed with VS
Setup project, you can have it automatically install it if you want it
to. Just add a launch condition of .NET Framework and specify the value
of:

for the InstallUrl.
