So I think I've found the problem. I just don't know how to fix it. If you look at the pasted mark up below you'll see that my executable is put in the "C:\Program Files\MyAppDirectory\" directory unless the user chooses a different directory. Then the value of INSTALLDIR is changed.

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, yo

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

For reference, error code 0001 (LGHT0001, CNDL0001, etc) is generally an unhandled exception. To have any chance of working out what the problem is, you need to provide the exact WiX version and the call stack produced. Any output produced by the tool before it crashed would also be helpful.
