Packaging VB.NET Application with Framework

[Mr Utkal Ranjan Pradhan]

Hi Friends
I've developped a vb.net application. Now i want to deploy the application
to an Windows 98/Me/2000/XP machine which donot have .NET Framework
installed. Now I want to package my application and the framework into a
single exe file. So that when the installation of my application starts it
will check whether .NET framework is installed or not . If .NET Framework is
not installed then it should install the .NET Framework silently, ie, in
background.

Plz help me.
Thanx
Mr Utkal Ranjan, New Delhi.

May I ask who you are writing this package for ?, is it by chance destined
to be deployed in the UK for a UK customer ?

OHM
