Deployment packagesThanks to a lot of help from this group I am at the point where I have
to consider the best way to deploy my clients package. Some of the PC using it may not have web access so it will be on CD. Recommendations please for a package which will a) Install the net framework from CD if not already installed b) Install the net framework service pack(s) if not already installed c) install my software d) Install some data files e) Optionally install such things as acrobat. Thank you Jack,
There is one thing you cannot do. That is using a Net program that needs the Net Framework to install the Net framework. For the rest you can try the standard deployment project in Visual Studio Net. It has in my opinion all that you ask. A link about deployment the framework http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnnetdep/html/vsredistdeploy.asp Here in this link are some other approaches Deployment Toolkit (MSDE) however maybe it fullfils your needs http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnmsde/html/msdedepl.asp On Touch (needs a webpage as you wrote you don't have that) http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dv_vstechart/html/vbtchno-touchdeploymentinnetframework.asp I hope this helps a little bit?

I cannot see a way of getting it to do it from the CD (although there are a lot of things I do not see about .net until they are pointed out). I have emailed wise to see if they can fill my needs. Jack Jack,
The standard deployment package from VSnet 2002/2003 is from a CD or diskette or whatever like that This far from complete, however to get an idea http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vsintro7/html/vbtskcreatinginstallerforyourapplication.asp I hope this helps, Cor Thanks for all the replies. The bootstrap loader seems the way to go for
installing dotnet framework. Do MS issue a setup like dotnetfx that contains the framework and service packs?

Check out http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/downloads/tools/bootstrapper/default.aspx This is a "bootstrapper" supplied by Microsoft which allows you to put the framework download onto your CD and get it automatically installed before your app installs. Works a treat.
