.NET Bootstrap without setup
I have a .NET WinForms application which needs to be run from CD. What I need to figure out is if user has required .NET version installed or install if necessary than run the application after installation. Any info I've found about bootstrapping involves setup and installation of the application. How can I do this if I don't install anything? I'd appeciate any info.. ptkvsk I was also thinking that you can't do it without making an installer for a long time, but that's not true. There is a msbuild action, called "GenerateBootstrapper" . If you're in Visual Studio: Right-click your project
