Including .NET framework with Visual Studio Setup project

[Guest]

I am currently using Visual Studio .NET 2003. I followed the instructions on

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/d...ary/en-us/dnnetdep/html/vsredistdeploy1_1.asp

and successfully made an installer than installs the .NET framework if it is
not present before my application installs. The .NET framework is distributed
with the application.

Specifically I used the Visual Studio .NET Framework Bootstrapper Plug-in.
This did all the work for me with regards to automatically installing .NET if
it is not already there and afterwards running my installer *.msi.

Is the .NET Bootstrapper Plug-in available for Visual Studio .NET 2005?
