Question

I'm developing a custom .Net Application Installer, and I'm wondering if is it legal to include the .Net framework in my application (Redistributable .net framework installer) Version 2.0 at least.

Was it helpful?

Solution

As long as you follow their license terms you should be able to do it.

Redistributing the .NET Framework

The other alternative would be to direct the user to the internet to download the installer themselves. If file size is of any concern, then this might be advantageous, as it would also reduce the size of your packaged application (you don't have to provide the redistributable installer).
