.Net Framework 2.0 Beta and Starting VB

Hey Everyone,

I'm just getting started in Visual Basic, and I'm starting out with the express edition betas, and I'm trying to do an app in it, but whenever I try to install my app on another pc that pc has to download the .net framework 2.0 beta which is a larger file then I'd like them to have to download if they want to use my application. Is there any way to get around this such as packaging the framework with my applicaiton, or use the .net framework 1.1

Also, does anyone have any recommendations for books and material for learning vb on the newer versions greater then version 6

Thanks,

Jmitchell

JMitchell -

One sugggestion would be to look at ClickOnce, which you can use through either:
1) Build->Publish
2) Project->Properties, then go to the "Publish" tab

Alternatively, you can just use the bootstrapper (which is also used as part of ClickOnce), as described in http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/04/10/Bootstrapper/.
