Hi all,

1. My application with launch condition checking the client PC has .net
framework 1.1.4322, but i have tried that if there are .net 2.0 installed
it seems not work well as expected. I still prompt and require 1.1 framework
to be installed. How to solve it so that my version could pass the launch
condition when framework 2.0 is installed as well as 1.1

2. how should i setup the dependency on a deployment project so that .net
framework will also included inside my setup file.

Thanks a lot.
Rena.

1. This is what the SupportedRuntimes property is for in the launch
condition:

xgrfSupportedRuntimesProperty.asp

2. You can't install the .NET framework from within your setup project
because you can't nest an MSI install (the .NET install) inside another MSI
install (your setup). See:

me=true
and look at the bootstrapper, or use something like this:
