Distributing .NET Framework Silently, one file?

[2big]

I've looked so much for something that will do this, I've tried the bootstrapper, but that makes seperate files, I've tried installshield, and several other installers. Is there anyway way I can distribute the .NET Framework and my application in one setup.exe file, and have the framework install silently without any dialogs? Any help would be appreciated.

anyone?

Probably the only way to do it is to use Salamander.

That's really expensive, I would at least want to try it first. It doesn't need to link all the assemblies together, I just want to silently install the .net framework and my application in one exe. Any other ideas?

If you mean the XCOPY deployment (without dialogs) , this would be harder to manage file locations . But why would you do something like this ?

Yea, like what files would I have to copy of the .NET framework and how would I do it.
