Bootstrapper (pre-installer) for .net apps
I'm trying to develop a small app like Flash Player updater. I want users to download this executable first and so I can check if user has required .net framework and other prerequisites (sql server, crystal reports etc.). Then by this app I'll download missing ones and install them. So which language I must use (c, c++, visual c++)? How is Adobe doing this and are there any open-source examples?

It seems you're looking for a bootstrapper.
Several solutions target the .NET framework, including the popular (and free) dotNetInstaller.
