    Deployment project not seeking NET framework from installation CD.

    I've created a deployment Project and specified that the prerequisites such as NET framework and MDAC should come from the same source as the application.

    The installation application is on a CD and all the appropriate folders are in place as created by VS 2005 yet the Installation fails when it seeks the files from the users PC instead of the CD.

    The order of operating is first the setup.exe which then runs the .msi file. That's correct isn't it? If I go straight to the .msi it wants to get the prerequisites from the internet (not suitable for these users).

    I checked the box to install from same source as the application.

    Is this a bug in VS 2005 or am I doing something wrong?

    This has become a really urgent task as I've floundered my way between various approaches.

    Any help really appreciated.

    Obviously too hard.

    Have found the reason though.
    My Setup was running from a CD considered to be the 'internet' at 127.0.0.1

    I therefore had to specify the resources coming from an http:// address rather than the CD containing the app.
