I have a standalone tool developed in C# Visual Studio Express 2010.
My problem is that this tool will fail to start on machines having no .NET installed, and asking for .NET 4 on machines has .NET under 3.5 or lower.
What I basically want to do is to install .NET 4 from my application before the main script runs. I can write a program to download it from an official webpage, also to run the installer etc. But the main problem still exists, the app won’t even reach the download part as it won’t run on machines…
I’ve googled around and found that you can include dll-s etc., but I still doubt I can proceed without a proper .NET installation. So how can run dotnetfx.exe with my .NET dependent application?
Your attention and ideas are much appreciated.
Cs.
