visual studio .net setup : Bad link created when creating setup project

Hi,
I've just created a Setup Project in Visual Studio 2003. The Setup.ini file
contains the following URL which the user will get redirected to if the .net
framework isn't installed:

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=9832

However this link points to a page which says "The .NET Framework download
list page has been moved...". I can of course manually change the link in
the .ini file, however would it be possible to have the fwlink changed to
point to something more appropriate? It will stop an awful lot of user
confusion. Also does anyone know if it's possible to change this link
without having to manually edit the file?

Thanks,
Adrian

I will look into way the fwlink is incorrect.

You can change the link in the Setup Project. Open the Launch Condition
Editor, select the .NET Framework launch condition. There should be an
InstallURL which you can edit.

Hope that helps.

That's excellent - never knew that editor existed!

Thanks
