Hi. I'm creating a setup file and I originally thought that the framework was packaged when creating the setup file. But I found out that the framework is not packaged and if you try to install your application on a computer that does not have the framework, a prompt is given to the user to install the framework and the installation quits. The installation will not continue.

My question is, is there any way I could package the framework in the setup file when creating a setup for a c sharp application? I want to know this since I'm thinking if a user does not have the framework installed on their machine it could somehow be contained in the setup file that will install the framework. Could this be done?
