I'd just reccomend using vb6; the runtime is included with windows

anything else is called 'unnecessary complexity'

what is exactly downloaded over the network? just libraries, or does
MS gather some info from my PC?

I don't know if MS is gathering data (of course, they could already be
doing that, completely independently of your installer).
If the computer that you are installing your program onto requires
the .NET framework, and the computer does not have it, it will
download and install it. It can also do this with MS Installer 3.1,
which .NET 2.0 and ClickOnce (which it sounds like you are using) both
require, I think.
If you don't like this downloading of stuff, look around in the
Project Settings, I think the setting is called "requried files". You
can disable this downloading feature.
You can also investigate using a different installer-maker, such as
MSIBuilder.- Hide quoted text -
