thanks I will have a look at the links.

So, what options do I have? Would you agree
with the following?

1) Require the user to download and install exactly the
runtime version my app is built for.

2) Pack my app into an installer exe that also includes the
correct runtime and installs it if necessary. What if a newer
runtime is already installed?

3) Send an application config file along with my app and require
the user to have installed at minimum the specified version.


I would consider 3) as more or less the same as 1) if not WinXP
would come with preinstalled runtime 1.0. Also the dotnet runtime
does not seem to be part of the automatic Windows Update.

thanks for your time,
Nick
