I take that to mean Dotnetfx.exe will not have to be installed on the clients machine to view ASP.NET.

Again I understand that Dotnetfx.exe must be installed for desktop or Intranet applications to run .NET applications. Our corporate policy at this time is that no files can be required or loaded on a users machine accosiated with any applications we create. It has to be done through a corporate approved browser - in this case I.E.

Well, if I have not made myself clear I am sorry. I will have to find out for myself.
