Project Release Installer -

I was wondering, how can I design my own project installer... if a machine does not have the common .net files installed...

I need to know if I can import theses files into a .net project somehow... sounds odd and impossible...

if not, then I might just have to do a batch file to install these or something...

Any ideas or alternative to DESIGN a professional installer WITHOUT resolving to the .net package installer?
