I've looked into this before and I'm sure we were told that we couldn't silently install the framework (legally).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;By wrong I mean like the example of a VGA driver download of a certain vendor for a certain operating system that amounts to more than 100MB just to unconditionally install an old version of the framework but missing the appropriate language packs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I suggest applying these guidelines:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;DO NOT package other vendors' public frameworks with your application.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;DO use setup bootstrappers that check for framework requirements and have them download and install the most up-to-date setup packages from the original vendor's website only when necessary.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CONSIDER making functionality that requires a public framework an optional feature in your installation.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Silent install of the .NET Framework</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/brada/archive/2007/06/26/silent-install-of-the-net-framework.aspx#3565266</link><pubDate>Wed, 27 Jun 2007 16:30:37 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:3565266</guid><dc:creator>Aaron</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Mark I recall the same thing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think I prefer InstallShield's method for installing(dialog with progress bar) this frame work. &amp;nbsp;We have looked into quiet mode before, but it looks like your install is hung. &amp;nbsp;If there is an error the user never knows. &amp;nbsp;Hunting error log files is a little more time consuming then users emailing screen shots of the error message.&lt;/p&gt;
