hi everybody
I'm coding in VS 2008 (C#), I use SQLexpress and I think my project uses .NET 3.5 (I've started my project with default VS 2008/C# settings so it should be 3.5, right?)
Now I'm going to distribute my app (which is an SMS gateway), I've tested the app on some machines HAVING VS 2008 and SQL already installed, so I had no problem in running, but recently I had another test system which wasn't used to be a coding system so when installing the app (initially I made an install package using a little app called Smart Install Maker) there was a need for .NET framework 3.5, I had a small app around 2MB called .NET 3.5 which I had included in the setup program, but it asked me to download something from web (around 60MB), I have several questions, please help me:
how can I find .NET version on a system?
is there a FULL PACKAGE for end-users? something that I can include in the setup and users can install it freely, without web connection
I've downloaded Install Shield 2010, how can I use it to make setups? It has a feature for supporting VS 2008, is there any sample?
and SQL, what is the best strategy for installing SQL? as SQL has really diverse versions each of which is a new world!

thanks in advance
