Web Deployment w/ Bootstrapper Plug-in

I've been following the directions from MSDN "Using Visual Studio .NET 2003 to Redistribute the .Net Framework" in efforts to detect and install MDAC and the .NET Framework and then my application.

I'm using the Bootstrapper Plug-in.
Attempting to deploy on Windows 98 with IE 6.

On my Development PC, I've copied all of the Setup Files to an IIS Virtual Directory and have created a webpage with a button directing to the Setup.exe.

I receive the File Download Dialog and click open at which time I receive the following error message:

"An error occured while parsing installer settings file 'C:\WINDOWS\TEMPORARY INTERNET\CONTENT.IE5\6CZ5J2LR\config.ini' or the file could not be located"

Can somebody tell me what step or concept I'm missing.

TIA
 
The MSDN bootstrapper isn't designed to run over the web. The files all
need to be copied locally.

No matter what I do, I'm getting errors parsing or not being able to find an associated Config.ini

Maybe if I can explain what I'm doing, somebody can point me to the proper documentation..

I created a simple WindowsForms Application
I want to use IIS to deploy it on a Windows 98 Machine that does not have MDAC or the .NET Framework Installed
I need my setup to detect the lack of presence of MDAC and the .NET Framework
I need to install MDAC and .NET Framework automatically from my setup
I then need to install my WindowsForms Application

You need to make all files and folders in the Built Output folder
available/copied. I believe a setup.ini or something is also needed.

Better support for that bootstrapper is at:
