The Homer application framework, HomerApp, illustrates how to do this for the .NET Framework 2.0, using an Inno Setup script to build an installer.

Hi everyone, I have an extremely simple program that I wrote some time ago that is up for anyone to download. However, there's a problem in that if the .net framework isn't installed, it gives a not very helpful error. If there's one thing I hate about programming in .net, it's this requirement that something else be installed just to get the thing running, but I don't yet have familiarity with any languages that can be used to make windows forms and aren't dependent on this framework. So, with this in mind. I'd really like to find a way to package this program into an installer that will do an automatic check for the framework and download it if it's not there. As of right now, the program is simply an .exe file that you run, it's not even really installed at all it's that simple. I know this is, technically, possible, but am I dreaming too big for someone still learning? Any idea if there's something put together already that I could get and just plug in the right stuff? Thanks.
