Hello.I created a setup and deployment
project for my windows application and deployed in another machine which
doesn't have the framework 2.0 and it is asking for download of
framwork. I tried to include the prerequisites along with my application
but it is costing heavy memory nearly 22 mb where my application is
about 6 mb. Can you tell me is there any way to create a setup
application including neccessary files only from framework.

or you can use the download from prequisits website.
I have a 400kb app that needs dot net 2 and I dont think that making it 22.4MB is worth it lol.
so they download the 400kb app and as long as the bootstrapper that checks client computer for dot net 2 is run (i.e the setup.exe file and not the .deploy install file) It will check for dot net 2 and if not installed with download it from MS and install it then install your app.
saves you distrubuting a massive file

I agree. Download is good solution, there is at least 2 reasons for this:
But if you plan to ship setup with CD or other non-internet connected solutions - you have to deal with 20 megs. And final user always have to deal with such size, even if he needs only small & simple app. Also not every user have DSL, sometimes they are on 28.8kbps modems... 1.5 hours to load and start small app

Hi!
.NET setup is about 22MB. You can't fix anything here.
