This is about the deployment of a Windows Forms application. I have created a Windows Forms application, but I’m not sure if the users have installed .NET version 4. I have put my Windows Forms application at my website and the users will download it to their desktop.
How do I automate the process of downloading and installing .NET 4 if the users have not installed it? What are the recommended ways of deploying Windows Forms applications to users?
You could try ClickOnce.
You just need to define which prerequisites you want to include in bootstraper, as described here
