.NET Deployment on lower version framework machines

I use VS2010 to create a project and when I deploy it in a machine with a lower version of .NET framework it gives me an error:

enter image description here

Typically that would require the user to go search for the framework, or download it from an internet location.

I want to give the user, an option to automatically download the framework file as I cannot add it to the existing package. Where can I get started?

In the installer you can include the .net installation as a prerequisite. either directly or allow user to download the version from the internet. Please note that the .net 4 has a Client version that is smaller than the full version.
