I created a post in the .NET setup/deployment forum: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3270700&SiteID=1, where I outlined an application I created that uses the Setup and Deployment project to register Dlls and check for the .NET Framework.  The application is not a Silverlight website, but renders Silverlight objects in a browser.  I do not want my users to have to install the application and then when they attempt to use it see a "Download Silverlight" prompt.  The Setup and Deployment project allows me to check for necessary components (the .NET Framework) and installs them properly, but there is no Silverlight Bootstrap that I have been able to find.

 I created a bootstrap and point it to the "Get Silverlight" link, but I don't know if this is the proper method, because I'm checking for the existance of the silverlight system.dll instead of something more concrete, I even think this will fail if they have a later version of silverlight installed.  Any advice on the proper way to check for silverlight and install it at the same time as other dependancies would be appreciated.

 Thanks.
