I manually installed the WinFX RTC 3.0 Beta on the test client, the app runs.
Is there a way to add the WinFX RTC 3.0 as a prerequisite

    Hi Ashish Thanks you for your interest and sorry for my nervous ,i have two days search in this topic which make me mad so forgive me

    this the best solve i found

    ===========================================

    Creating the prerequisites

    WinFx does not come as a prerequisite in the Visual Studio 2005 Publish tab. However, we can create our own prerequisite with any MSI or EXE installation.

    The process to do this is:

    1. Create a new folder called "WinFx" here %Program Files%\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper\Packages
    2. Use the Bootstrapper Manifest Generator to create the manifest for WinFx. I've created it already for WinFx.
    3. Copy the manifest to %Program Files%\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper\Packages\WinFx
    4. Copy the WinFx Runtime Components redistributable to the same folder
    5. Restart Visual Studio 2005

    ==================================================

    and this the reference: http://staff.southworks.net/blogs/matiaswoloski/default.aspx

    thanks.

    Note in  the prerequisties Dialogbox

    for  specify the install location for prerequisties

    chose     Download prerequisites from the same location as my application

    if you have the full source of WinFx Runtime Components which size is 47.0 Mb

     thanks.

    If you're looking for the development and design tools for WinFX, the "Windows Vista - Get the Beta" page has links. Look for "Orcas" CTP - Developer tools for WinFX.

    As I'd said in my previous response (link above) support for WinFX in the setup bootstrapper created in Visual Studio is being worked on. Expect that in one of our public releases soon. We try to do our best with limited resources and time. Redistributing the platform only becomes relevant as we near RTM and hence other more pressing features have assumed priority over it.
