Adding Dot Net Framework to the Setup Project in Dot Net Solutions.

[ns2k]

when creating a solution that also contains a setup project, there is need to add an option to install the dot net framework also in the setup project.

I try to add the merge module (dotNETFXRedist_x86_enu.msm) -

but the dot net raise error :

- 'dotNETFXRedist_x86_enu.msm must not be used to redistribute the NET Framework, Please exclude this merge module.'

 

How can I do it?

using this technic that you gave me it is not fully solve my problem because there are other MSI that need to be install (etc. MSDE)

is there option to do the same in new setup project, when I can use merge module?

how can I use merge module for this kind of problem?
