How do I Deploy the WinFX Runtime Components?

I have an app that has dependencies on WinFX (WCF to be specific) so I'd like to be able to deploy the WinFx Runtime Components with the app but I don't see the runtime components listed in the list of Prerequisites. So, is it possible to include the WinFx Runtime Components in the ClickOnce deployment and if so, how

Thanks,

Greg

    Hi Greg,

    You should create a bootstraper package and put it in a folder in this directory
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper\Packages\WinFxPackage
    Restart VS and you will see your package in the prerequisite dialog.

    I did the package for WinFx, if you want me to send it.
