• One option is to detect the version installed on the client machine and direct them to download and install the Framework themselves. Another option is to obtain the redistributable and include (“chain”) the .NET Framework setup proces into your application’s setup process. Learn more about these options here: • http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc160716.aspx • Another option that is worth exploring is the .NET Framework Client Profile, which provides a subset of the full .NET Framework that targets client applications (about 28MB). It even allows you to create a custom bootstrapper and installation UI.
