Just a quick question,
When I create a setup project and my application is only 1MB, the program still needs the framework anyways which will extend the application another 20-30MBs making it very large making it a pain to send by email for downloading it from the net.
Is there a method anyone know of to reduce the size of the application installer.
If you create an MSI or ClickOnce installer for your app then the default behaviour is for the Setup.exe file to automatically download the Framework from Microsoft on-demand, i.e. if an only if it is not already installed. This saves your customers who already have it from downloading it at all and it saves you distributing it explicitly to those who don't.
