Yes, I understand. I'm using web deployment and a 197Mb file would do me (my customers) in.
I had read somewhere that they expected the 3.5 redistributable to be around 4Mb so I was hoping that it was available at around that size. I don't want to move forward with VS2008 until my SetupBuilder IDE fully supports it.
I've identified a couple of painful stability issues with the VS2005 IDE and will move to VS2008 as soon as all the stars align. (so I can try out a new set of problems )
Thanks for the quick response,
Jim
