Thanks, Hog! I actually figured out how to do what I needed by using the bootstrapper.exe located on the MS website. Best regards, computer-girl

I need to install my application on both a Windows 2000 and a Windows 98 system that does not have the .NET Framework nor the Windows Installer installed on them. I would like my application to load everything that is needed onto the target system without have to redirect the user to Microsoft's website in order to download what is needed. I think that I need the bootstrapper files Instmsia.exe and Instmsiw.exe to be loaded into my build directory in order to accomplish this goal. So far, I can only load MyApplication.msi, Setup.exe and Setup.Ini. The bootstrapper files Instmsia.exe and Instmsiw.exe will not copy to my build directory. I selected the Windows Installer Bootstrapper option. However, the MSDN library says that Instmsia.exe and Instmsiw.exe will not be copied to the build directory for deployment projects that include a .NET Framework launch condtion. Neither can I seem to delete the Launch condtion labeled ".NET Framework". What can I do?
