VS .NET shipped with a merge module for setup projects that would detect and
require that .NET Framework 1.1 be installed.

Now that people are downloading .NET 2.0 instead of 1.1, this will abort the
setup. Is there a merge module that will detect either version of the
framework? (We've tested our app and it runs fine with the 2.0 framework.)

Thanks

The detection in VS 2005 setup projects is a bit more flexible. In the .NET
framework launch condition You can specify 1.1.4322 as the required version
but set AllowLaterVersions to true, so if 1.1 or 2.0 are there the install
will proceed.
