How to call .exe file rather than compressing it in installer
hi,

i am preparing an installer for my .net application.. i have got one prerequisite which checks for .net framework 3.5. if it is not there it will install framework..

i am giving the path where .net framework 3.5 exe is there on my system. so when i am compiling my script it generates a exe which consist of .net framework in it..

for example:

it my .net framework exe is 200 mb

my installer exe is also almost 200 mb.

so what i want is, rather than compressing 200 mb exe in installer, is it possible to call the exe from other location where my .net framework exe will be sitting.. so that my installer will be light weight. in kbs..

replies will be appricate.. thanks..
