bootstrapper does not install .net framework

[zaffar]

I had written a simple application and added a setup project. To install this in a win'98 second edition, i used bootstrapper sample provided by microsoft. However it says setup is working but after few seconds an error occurs "application set up failure".

When i tried to install dotnetfx.exe manually, it invokes and says that internet explorer 5.01 v is required. Why not the same error comes when i install with bootstrapper. Isbootstrapper invoking dotnetfx.exe file or not?

Please help me urgently,
Thanx in advance,
Zaffar.

Does this have anything to do with Visual Basic 6?

Somehow I think you need the .NET forum..

...I've also noticed that prior to installing the .NET Framework,we must have Internet Explorer 5.01 or above versions available,else it does not continue with .NET Framework installation...!!
Why is it so?

hey phreak,i think its a Visual Basic.net query...and i thought ive put it in that particular forum,if not then its a mistake....is there any way i can post it back to the correct .Net forum??
