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.
Cheers,
John

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.

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
