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
