Common Language Runtime/installation

[Dman]

When you package a program in .net, is the CLR part of that package? In other words, I want to install a .net program on a Windows 2000 machine. Will this install the CLR (or .net framework) on the 2000 machine? My terminology may be wrong but I think you see where I'm going.

Thanks

apparently not...

i was just trying to install my package on another machine and it asks for the .net framework to be installed.

do you maybe know where i can find this file?
would this be on the development installation cd's?

I believe it is on the development disk.

To elaborate on my last post:

I just did a package and deployment build and got the following message:

WARNING: This setup does not contain the .NET Framework which must be installed on the target machine by running dotnetfx.exe before this setup will install. You can find dotnetfx.exe on the Visual Studio .NET 'Windows Components Update' media. Dotnetfx.exe can be redistributed with your setup.

However, is there a way to include the .NET Framework in the install package?

I'm sure there is, but that's going add some considerable heft to your install package. If you have the capability, you may consider creating a .NET framework network install script and run it first.
