Deploy .NET Framework

[Enforcer]

Hey,

I have a setup file for my Frontend to an sql database
and it all installs just fine, i was wondering if there
was a way to setup the .net framework automatically in
the setup of the Frontend? Instead of installing it
seperatly.

Also on windows 98 machines i need to install the latest
MDAC so can i include that aswell (for win 98)?

Any hel por documentation would be great.

Thanks.

Grab your MDAC's from here:

Hi,

Here is a plug in for vs.net 2003 that does that.
