Let's get right to it, is there a way to deploy 4.5 .Net Framework when running a program?

A little background info should be added...I need to a way to zip a bunch of PDFs. Right now, I'm creating a process that calls 7zip but realized that this program would need to be installed on every machine this program will be executed from, which not an ideal solution. So from a previous question I posted ZipFuntion_Within_Visual_Studio, I asked how this could be done and the ideal solution was to use the ZipClass, which is only available on the 4.5 .Net Framework.

Is there a way to check to see if this is installed and if not, install on the machines that need it, upon running the program? Could I also be referring to a Prerequisites?

    could be done via an installer prerequisite. – Sam Axe Oct 02 '12 at 20:03
