    creating a .net setup project in vs 2003

    my application was created in vb.net, vs 2003. the setup project was also
    created in vs 2003. one of my application reviewers reported this:

    The .Net link that is included in the setup is not the correct link, it's
    outdated. The link should be changed from this:

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...vframework.asp

    to the new link, which is this:

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframewo...s/default.aspx.


    since i put neither of these links into my setup. i assume it is something
    generated automatically by the visual studio 2003 setup project. i am
    guessing it comes into play when someone does not have .net installed.

    anyone know how i might update this link in my setup project?

    i know this seems trival since the link does refer correctly. i am
    submitting my .net application setup to tucows.com as shareware. their
    response was:

    "Thank you for submitting your software for distribution on www.tucows.com.
    Unfortunately, we are unable to accept your program at this time because the
    .Net link that is included in the setup is not the correct link, it's
    outdated. The link should be changed ..."

    hence my quest.

    thanks.

    I believe it is in the properties window of your File System Editor for your install (setup) project.

    I use the "Deployment Plugin" that Microsoft has out. It is a free download. Look for "Bootstrapper Plugin" on the NET. It will include the .NET Framework and MDAC as well.
