how can i test during install time if the .NET Framework 2.0 has been
installed. i'm assuming it is in the registry somewhere, but i don't know
where to look, what to look for, and how to test for the 2.0 version?

thanks,

ray

and yet another option for installing the framework. It looks like this will
also work with version 2.0.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324733

look down the page to the:
"Use Setup.exe to Distribute the .NET Framework with Your Visual Studio .NET
Application"

and the:
"Prepare Your Deployment Project for Use with the Setup.exe Bootstrapping
Application Sample"

and then the:
"Customize the Settings.ini File"
Sections of the page
