How to create setup file??

How to create a setup file that can be install in a pc that does not have .NET Framework?
I have try to add a new setup project but when I try to install the program in a non .NET Framework pc it cannot be install.

Second question. If I edit some of my source code, how to make the changes apply to all installed program??

Thanks.

The target computer system must have the .NET framework installed prior to installing your programme, or installed at the time of installing your programme.

There is a bootstrapper available which will automatically include the .NET framework with your setup applications so that it is installed when the user runs setup. I cant remember the link but if i find it i will post it here.

As far as updating all installations when you make changes - you could implement an auto update feature that will update the clients software from your webserver or network server depending on the installation type. The only other way as far as im aware is to manually replace the .exe file on each computer system.

awww...Is there ANY way to share my program with my buddies that dont have VB.NET?

[carl_mathews200]

Not that im aware of. In order to run a .net application you need the .net framework.

They dont need vb.net just the .net framework which is a free download from Microsoft, or installed automatically when your application is installed.

Thanks carl_mathews200.

I have set the windows installer bootstrapper but .NET Framework cannot be install automatically. Is there any other ways to install .NET Framework automatically when the user double click the setup.exe??
