DeployMaster is capable of detecting the presence of the Microsoft .NET framework, and install it if necessary. For installation, you can bundle the .NET framework redistributable for the version of .NET that your application needs with your installer. DeployMaster automatically runs it as part of the installation, as needed.
If most of your customers already have the framework installed, you can choose not to distribute it. Instead, put the URL //www.deploymaster.com/dotnetfx.html as the download URL in the installer. When using this URL, DeployMaster automatically adds a parameter to the URL to indicate the version you’ve specified in the installer. If the framework is not present, the setup program generated by DeployMaster prompts the user to download and install the framework. When the user clicks this URL in the installer, only one of the downloads below is shown. Since you didn’t click on a link in the installer, all the downloads are shown.
