Re: [WiX-users] Installing dotnet framework along with your MSI package
I've been looking at bootstrappers recently, and I settled on dotNetInstaller, an open source program at http://www.devage.com/Wiki/ViewArticle.aspx?name=dotnetinstaller. It will install as many prerequisites as you need. It is well written and easy to modify (despite most of the comments being in Italian!), and so if you need to customise it further, it is relatively straightforward.

Re: [WiX-users] Installing dotnet framework along with your MSI package
It should complete. You'll need to find the flags to do it silently but you are right, there is no guarantee when it will complete or that it will finish if it encounters an error.

Re: [WiX-users] Installing dotnet framework along with your MSI package
Google GenerateBootstrapper task. That's what a Visual Studio 2005 project uses and it will work with a WiX generated MSI too. The example in MSDN for the GenerateBootstrapper task shows the .NET Framework as a prerequisite. Forget about trying to install the .NET Framework from a CA, you're asking for trouble doing that.
