SYMPTOMS When a user runs a Microsoft Windows Installer package to install a project that was built
by using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, Windows Installer verifies that the Microsoft .NET Framework is
installed on the destination computer before it installs the project. If the .NET Framework does not exist on the destination computer, the user may receive the
following error message: This setup requires the
.Net Framework version 1.1.4322. Please install the .Net Framework and run this
setup again. The .Net Framework can be obtained from the web. Would you like to
do this now? CAUSEA project that was built by using Visual Studio .NET cannot be installed
unless the .NET Framework is already installed on the destination computer. The .NET
Framework is not included in the Windows Installer
package and cannot be included in the Windows Installer
package.RESOLUTIONMicrosoft provides a downloadable Setup.exe bootstrapping application that verifies the existence of the
.NET Framework. If the .NET Framework does not exist on the destination
computer, the bootstrapping application installs the .NET Framework and then
invokes the Windows Installer package to run your Setup application. To
download the Setup.exe bootstrapping application, visit the following Microsoft Web
site: STATUS This
behavior is by design.REFERENCESFor
