i wrote a desktop application with C# on .net framwork.Basicly the
application works as a GUI host and a web service client.When my end users
want to install my application on their PC's,they get very angry for the sake
of the big size of the setup package(you know,i have to include a
dotnetfx.exe which sized at 20M in it).

Now,here you know what i am asking for:
Is there any way to customize the installation of the .Net runtime to reduce
the size,or is there a compact or minimal package for the .net redistribute?

Any clue will be helpful,Thanks!

In my understanding of the EULA you can only redistribute the dotnetfx.exe
as a whole. However you could have your setup bootstrapper download it only
when needed.
