hi all,
i'm wondering if there are any best practices for distributing apps
which require the .net framework to run.
i've read about using the .net bootstrapper which will install the .net
framework as a step in the regular apps' installation if the user
doesn't have the framework. however, when i include the dotnetfx
redistributable the size of the download is about 23mb as opposed to
300k for my app.
i'd like people who already have the .net framework to just download
the 300k app and others to download the 23mb file but i don't want to
make users decide what they should do. any ideas?
thanks,
krish
