  I have a solution only for the second problem - with Visual Studio .NET 2003 you cannot directly include the .net framework redistributable (dotnetfx.exe) in your setup project in order to install it on the client machine if it is not already installed. I read in an article that the MS intended to do so but had some problems with it. So - along comes the "setup.exe bootstrapper sample" (bootstrapper_sample.exe) - availabel for download from Microsoft.com. This is a setup project that installs the .net framework to the client machine (if it's not already there) and then starts your setup project that you specify in the config file. For the first one - I guess you only need to add the dependant object in the setup project
