problems deploying with visual studio 2002

I'm running the Academic version. Just testing/playing/learning

Trying to follow training books on how to deploy with vs.net.

First thing I noticed is that my setup project's CLR ( dotnetfxredis)
was not defaulting to exclude = false (as the book said would), it was
set to true. And mscorlib.dll file was not under it in my setup
project like the books.

If I set dotnetfxredst to exclude = false and attempt to build I get :

dotNETFXRedist_x86_enu.msm must not be used to redistribute the .NET
Framework.
Please exclude this merge module

Is this a v2002 issue or just what I can expect with Academic version?
Does this go away with v2003?

Ive seen some threads to imply v2002, but the instructions on how to
fix blew me away, does anybody have some simple high level steps on
how to fix this?

Many thanks for *any* help or information!
 
Hi Jason,

You cannot legally use the Setup application in Visual Studio to
distribute the .NET framework. The user of your application
must install the framework seperately.

This is the same as with Java, where the JVM must be installed
first, and then the application can be installed.

Hi Nick. I understand the legal aspect, not looking to produce, deploy
or distribute anything, just looking to test the deployment *process*
at home in my network so that I can offer it as a job skill to
employers. Do you know for a fact that the Academic product has this
feature turned off?

Thanks.
 
Does anybody know what you are suppose to do with the two bootstrapper
sample files?

settings.ini
setup.exe

Not clear on how these files will enable deployment of .net solutions
on a desktop w/o .Net installed.

Thank you for *any* help or information.
