Automatic install Framework/SmartClient

[Richard]

Hi guys,
Is there any way to install the framework automatically if not already
installed.
We are running the application through smart client/silent deployment,
framework 1.1.

Please advice.
Richard

If you want to deploy the .NET Framework with your application, you'll
have to use a setup program that bootstraps the .NET Framework? Have a
look at the following links:


http://dotnet.mvps.org/dotnet/faqs/?id=deployframework&lang=en

Smart clients can be deployed a number of ways and the only approach
that supports automatically installing the .NET Framework is to use the
MSI approach.

By the way, what do you mean by a silent deploy? Do you mean no-touch
deployment?
