本文介绍一个工具：Setup Factory。在7.0版本中，Setup Factory的默认从属资源中仅支持VB5.0及VB6.0，想要在生成的安装程序中自动完成.NET FRAMEWORK的安装，从网上查了一下，须要按以下步骤做几件事：
首先找到Setup Factory安装目录下的Dependencies目录，在目录中新建一个dotnet2_0.xml的文件。
然后，在Dependencies目录下新建子目录，取名dotnet2_0，将.NET FRAMEWORK安装程序dotnetfx.exe拷至该子目录下，dotnetfx.exe可在VS 2005的安装目录下的SDK\\\\v2.0\\\\BootStrapper\\\\Packages\\\\dotnetfx目录下找到。
完成之后打开Setup Factory，选择：资源---从属---添加，可以看到.NET FRAMEWORK 2.0了。
文件dotnet2_0.xml内容如下：
