Hi, I'm using vs2005, .net 2 for a windows application. &nbsp;I would like to include the .net run time as part of my installation package so that users don't have to find it and download it from the web. <br />
1. &nbsp;Do I just include this in the Setup Project's File System?<br />
2. &nbsp;How do I configure this so when the target machine needs to install it during installation it will fetch it and run this from the installation CD or folder?<br />
Thank you.

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.
