Re: auto install .net framework 2

There are two ways that the framework can be downloaded. One is from the
setup.exe bootstrapper, the other is from the actual MSI file. You checked
the prerequisites box to use the first of these, and then ran the MSI file
(not the exe!) and invoked the second.
So it's the setup.exe that downloads the framework (and other dependencies)
from the prerequisites settings, and in the MSI file there are some settings
that are in the Properties window of the NET Framework launch condition in
the Launch Conditions view, including an InstallURL that you can edit.

I created a deployment project for my .net 2 application in vs 2005. In the
properties of the deployment project, under prerequisites i have "Create
setup program to install prerequisite components" checked and the ".Net
Framework 2.0" prerequisite selected. The install location is set to
"Download prerequisite from component's vendor's web site".

After I create the setup file I click on the msi file and if the .Net
framework is not installed on the machine it asks if I want to download it
from the vendors website. If I click yes, it takes me to this
(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=9832) url so I can download
dotnetfx.exe and install it manually.

This is not the behavior I want. I want it to automatically download the
framework and install it, then run my install again.

Can someone please explain how I can get vs2005 deployment project to do
this?

Thanks!
