That's the same thing I'm doing. You have to use a bootstrapper. If you're
using VS 2005, you can use the setup project and it will allow you to check for
.net framework .
The other way you can do it (which I did, but am having a heck of a time) is to
call the .net Framework redistributable at the end using a custom action , but
it has to be set after InstallFinalize so that your wix windows installer
instance ends when your dotnetfx.exe is called. I did it this way and it works,
although I don't know the consequences of this beyond installing the framework
AFTER your application.

Subject: [WiX-users] Installing dotnet framework along with your MSI package
How to include dotnet framework redistributable package (dotnetfx.exe) as a
part of your own installation package (MSI) such that the dotnet framework gets
installed during your installation process(Like through customActions). the
error i get is that another installation is already in progress. How to get out
of this problem and install the dotnetfx.
Thanks
