Hello,
Does anyone know where or when will be available a merge module to install the .NET Framework ?
I'm producing a web deployment project under VS.NET and the wizard creates automatically a dependency for a file with the name:
dotnetfxredist_x86_enu.msm
But I can't find it in Microsofts site.

If you install the VisualStudio.Net, you will get this merge module. Unfortunately, it will not work. The "official" distribution is using dotnetfx.exe.
See: Detail on redistribution of the .Net Framework
Why? I have no idea! It's very frustrating to me. Has anyone out there done this? I can't use the default deployment because my CLR is conditional on someone selecting the feature that requires it. We don't want to bloat the users drive if not required.

Yes.
After I posted this, I found the merge module and I also read the Microsoft article about the way to distribute the framework and the note about not beig possibile to redistribute the Framework merge module.
I decided to use the setup bootstrapper that installs dotnetfx.exe before executing my setup.
But it sure is a very ugly way to solve the problem.
I would much rather use the merge module.
They might rethink this. Let hope so.

I've actually had a bug using that bootstrapper setup with Windows ME. I get an error message after it installs the Framework and tries to suppress the reboot.
Does anyone know of a way to get around this? Perhaps we could make a merge module for dotnetfx but I doubt it.
