.Net bootstrap in setup project

[Jeremy Ames]

I saw a post on here with in the past week or so, but I cannot seem to find
it now. It had something to do with loading the .Net framework bootstrap to
the msi installation. Can someone please help?

Jeremy,

There is an example for bootstrapping the .NET setup at (watch for line
wrap):

Are you looking for the Visual Studio .NET Framework Bootstrapper Plug-in on
GotDotNet?

Setup projects in Visual Studio .NET 2003 can be used to install the .NET
Framework with your application, but only if you have installed the optional
Visual Studio .NET Framework Bootstrapper Plug-in on your development
computer. The Visual Studio .NET Framework Bootstrapper Plug-in modifies the
behavior of the Setup project's Bootstrapper property to include the .NET
Framework bootstrapper as well as the Windows Installer bootstrapper. The
..NET Framework redistributable is then packaged with your application; when
the user runs the bootstrapper setup.exe, it checks for the correct version
of the .NET Framework at install time and if necessary, installs it before
installing your application.
