    Installation process

    Hi

    Has anyone found a way around this scenario?

    I have a program that is written in Visual Studio.Net that i want to deploy to a customer. The customer has Windows 98 with Internet Explorer 4.

    I understand that the current process for installation would be:

    Install IE5 or greater THEN
    Install the .net framework, using the setup bootstrapper THEN
    Install the product

    What i dont want to do is have message boxes informing the user that they do not have the correct version of internet explorer on their machine.

    What i would like is some sort of automated process that will look for the version of IE, if it is not there, install the new version from the version i created using IEAK which will be on the CD. And not have the user looking through folders for the setup.exe for example.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can go about this? And if i cannot do the installation using the proposed method above, is there anyway around this?

    Thanks in advance

    Sarah

    I don't know C++

    I barely know VB.NET as I am just learning it.
