I don't know if you tried this already (I didn't), but there is also an
msistuff project under Platform SDK which works with the bootstrapper you're
talking about. msistuff allows you to modify the values for the resources
setup.exe uses (basically you can configure your bootstrapper). Have a look at
the Readme file under msistuff on how to use it. As far as I know, the
bootstrapper from Platform SDK doesn't check for .Net Framework presence, but
you should be able to add that easily.

Subject: [WiX-users] Bootstrapping to install .net 2.0-sample and best
practices?
I have some
applications that depend on .net 2.0 being installed, and I have an idea of how
I'd like to have things work. A setup file, deployed from an intranet site
will check for the prerequisites, and then once they are installed/verified,
download and run my MSI with the command line switches that I specify (if, for
example, I want to pass some property values in on the command line). I
understand that visual studio has a bootstrapper included that should help with
this, but I can't seem to find anything that really talks about how to use it
with your own MSI package. Is there a sample out there of how to use the
VS bootstrapper?
