So, if I understand correctly, you want to install .Net 4.5 only if 4.0 is not
already installed.
Try adding this to your InstallCondition:
AND (NOT (Netfx4FullVersion="4.0.30319" OR
Netfx4x64FullVersion="4.0.30319"))
So the whole thing would be:
InstallCondition="(VersionNT >= v6.0 OR Versio

that were fixed with an hotfix made by microsoft and bundled only with the net

versione to make my application working good at 100%If this is no
Using this SupportedRuntime I set the Net Framework 4.5 as needed for the
application, but this is not what I need.

I ran into a similar situation, and in the end, I too just set 4.5 as the
prerequisite for my installer.

It is possible, but there will be a lot of edge cases.
It may be better to simplify. What does your application really need? It
sounds like it needs .NET Frame 4.0. If that's the case, .NET 4.5 is a
superset and will satisfy the need for 4.0 in most cases. In which case, you'd

How can I read a value from an application's xml config file and present the
value in a dialog?
Scenario:
During an install a dialog prompts the user for a port number. That port number

custom action element.

There's an undocumented NETFRAMEWORK45 Property in the NetFX extension in Wix
