Deploying Framework and EXE

[Brant]

I have an EXE that I want to deploy to approx 200 PCs.
Is there a way to create a setup package that executes my
EXE after the framework has been installed? I want to
perform a silent install of the framework, then kick off
the EXE. If there's a better way to do this please let
me know.

Thanks! Brant

Re: Deploying Framework and EXE

Take a look of our new tool,

http://www.remotesoft.com/linker/

It does exactly what you want. It builds a minimum set of
framework files, and silently deloys your app to machines
that have not pre-installed the .NET Framework.

I would recommend looking at the .NET Frameworks bootstrapper sample. By
running the setup.exe, the .NET Frameworks will be installed if it isn't
already, and then your .MSI will be run.
