Hi there

I have VS.net Pro 2003 and have written some VB programs. I am creating installation packages and as part of the installation i would like the installer to check if .net framework is installed and if it isnt then go ahead and install it. Is there a plug in for VS.net that would allow me to do that, or is there someway of doing this.

I hope this is posted in the right forum. Please advise me where to go if it isnt

Regard

James

Are there minimum set of files that can be packaged along to make it wor
