Thanks QPR.<br />
I'd used BMG before but had never thought about using it to include the .exe file with any Microsoft prerequisite. It is because in the case of .NET 3.5 SP1, a bit of work is req'd.

I found out that there is no need to do anything for Windows Installer 3.1. It is only for .NET 3.5SP1 where manual changes are req'd.

Hi Experts<br />
I'd created a ClickOnce installer.<br />
The prerequisite components of the installer requires:<br />
1) .NET 3.5 SP1<br />
2) Windows Installer 3.1<br />
<br />
In order to allow user to install the application without any Internet connection, I need to <br />
include the two components into the ClickOnce installer so that user can install it with a CDROM or something.<br />
<br />
I'd successfully included the .NET 3.5 SP1 component after some Internet search.<br />
But I can't find anything that talks about way to include 'Windows Installer 3.1' into the installer. <br />
<br />
Could someone point me the right direction? Thanks in advance.

How to include 'Windows Installer 3.1' in ClickOnce installer?

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.

Installation

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.
