I built the setup for my .NET application, and started it from my Virtual PCtest instance, to see exactly how the process would go. As expected, I get a message box explaining that the .NET framework is needed:
This setup requires the .NET framework version 1.1.4322. Please install the .NET Framework and run this setup again. The .NET Frameword can be obtained from the web. Would you like to do this now? Yes / No
Well sure, I would like to download it - so I click yes. And I'm directed to the Microsoft's .NET Framework page, of course. Only it's the latest page, with no mention or link to version 1.1 of the framework, only version 2.0.
I want a little better experience for someone installing my program - I guess I'll be compiling it for 2.0 (for starters,) and then trying to automate the process some more, with the bootstrapper sample.
