  • 0

I am creating a setup project. The client would like to have the setup.exe file that includes already the .Net framework 3.5 SP1.

However, when I right click setup project | properties On the ‘properties page’ there is a button called ‘Prerequistes..’

There you have 3 choices: Vendors’s website same location as my application download from following location.

However, the client doesn’t want to download anything. So I need to package it with the setup.exe.

Is there any way to do this?

How big will the setup.exe, if it includes the .Net framework?

Many thanks for any suggestions,

  1. The full .net 3.5 sp1 installer is 231 Mb which is rather large to include on a disc. If you want to go down this route then this should help.

    If it’s just for a single client in a one-off scenario you could stick all the pre-reqs on a file share somewhere on their network and use the ‘Download prerequisites from the following location’ option.
