Hi KS,

..NET Framework has it's own MSI package. However, there is a great
workaround to accomplish this.

Here is a great article on distributing the Framework using various tools,
such as SMS and Active Directory.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnnetdep/html/redistdeploy.asp

It details the process of extracting the MSI package and it's cabinet files
to a distribution point to be used with active directory assignments and
publishing.

Deploy by using Active Directory

HTH.
