visual studio .net 2003 DEPLOYING dotnetfx with your project

[Jim Rutledge]

Hi all,
I need to know how to deploy DOTNET Framework 2.0 with my
projects...Reading through msdn stuff has told me that they no longer use
the dotnetfx_____.msm file to do this . But they don't tell me how to do it
with visual studio .net 2003 .. Anyone know how this is done now.. I seemed
to read upon using DOTNETFX.EXE , and i would like to somehow magicly add it
into my build.

But no information from microsoft , as far as I can find.
Any help would be greatly appreciated !!!

VS 2005 is used with 2.0, not VS 2003. As far as how to deploy .NET 2.0,
look up bootstrapping the .NET Framework. You cannot, by EULA, deploy the
bits. You will have to either link to a central location in your business
(internal apps) or to Microsoft (external or internal apps).

This one has general information of linking to MIcrosoft:

Here is a VS 2003 version:

If you are deploying 2.0, you might want this one:
