weirddemon Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 I've searched around the web to see what I can do about either packing the .net framework with my application or at least having the app search to see if the framework is installed and then installing it if it isn't. I've found some software that will allow you to package it, but I don't want to pay 1,500 + USD for that. I'd much rather just have the App install the framework automatically, if applicable. Due to the way this app will be used, it's not ideal to have the user manually install it. Thanks for any help :D Quote
Administrators PlausiblyDamp Posted February 21, 2009 Administrators Posted February 21, 2009 If you are deploying your app with an MSI based installer then you can install the framework as part of the installation. Visual Studio's setup wizard can sort it out for you. Quote Posting Guidelines FAQ Post Formatting Intellectuals solve problems; geniuses prevent them. -- Albert Einstein
weirddemon Posted February 21, 2009 Author Posted February 21, 2009 Well, my app will be a stand-alone executable. It won't be installed at all. Can I use an installer to verify if the framework has been installed, if so install it, if not continue opening the app? Quote
Administrators PlausiblyDamp Posted February 25, 2009 Administrators Posted February 25, 2009 If you are going to use an installer to verify if the framework is installed why don't you use the installer to install the application as well? Click Once deployment might also be a valid option depending on your situation. Quote Posting Guidelines FAQ Post Formatting Intellectuals solve problems; geniuses prevent them. -- Albert Einstein
