Windows installer 2.0 win 98. It's impossible to install Installer 3.0 there.I unchecked Installer at Setup Project prerequisites, but still it's not possible to install the application - the error message says that it requires a newer version of Windows.How can this be resolved? How can an automatic installer for.NET 2.0 application be created for Windows 98?I mean for application and also for.NET 2.0 if missing.I tried to do it by creating a setup project for Visual Studio 2008, but I didn't succeed.I installed IE6 SP1 manually, but Installer still crashed.Windows Installer 2.0 is installed.
