Check .NET Framework with a published C# WPF app

I have this problem (about checking if the right version of the .NET Framework is installed)

I made a C# WPF app and it works very good in my development environment (XP with .NET Framework 4.0, MS Access).

When I deploy the app (with setup.msi and setup.exe files) the app works, too. It should verify by itself the .NET Framework because I checked the .NET prerequisite (download from the same location where the app is).

But, when the app is just published, I go to "Application Files" folder and doubleclick on the appName.exe and the app starts and I get this error: "To run this app you need .NET Framework 4.0 installed".

So the question is, how to check the .NET Framework (and eventually install it automatically) from/for the pubblished app ?

Thanks, Adrian T.

You may also want to consider ClickOnce which will let you install the app and its prerequisites via a simple URL. If your app is signed with a digital certificate, you can also manage automatic updates that way.

you can check Installed framework from control panel.

also as i think you have add .Net Client Framework instead of .Net Framework. sometime .Net Client framework is not working proper so add as prerequisite .Net framework instead of .Net client framework.
