Including the .NET Framework in your setup

Hi, are there any such plub-ins for VS 2005? or this one for 2003 will work with 2005? I searched on microsoft site with keyword "Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 Bootstrapper Plug-In", but didnt find any thing...

The ClickOnce deployment tool included in VB2005 feature a basic bootstrapper for Prerequisites. Go to the Publish page and click Prerequisites, check the 'create setup' and choose which prereqs to install.

Note also that ClickOnce deployment itself is not built upon the bootstrapper technology like the MSI setup projects, but were designed as a webbased deployment tool.
