This is great, it works but... In the event that a user does not have internet access on the target machine the install fails as an attempt is made to _download_ the framework over the wire.
I should have been clearer when I first posed the question: Is it possible to ship the Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package with my installer and have it installed - whether an internet connection is present or otherwise - if it is not present on the target? Perhaps I have been tackling this in the wrong way from the outset?

Stumbled across WiX today and knocked together a vanilla msi after following the quick start in the help and am pretty impressed with what I have seen. However, I want to enhance what I have and check for the presence of the .net framework sdk or the distributable version installed on the target machine. If it is not present have it installed. I come across an MSDN article (see below) that explained how to achieve this by means of creating a bootstrap using MSBuild - I did this and have a resultant exe. http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/04/10/bootstrapper/default.aspx But from there on in I am lost! Any ideas how I incorporate this exe into my wix file? In case this is significant I am using a nightly build of WiX v3.0.2813.0, wish to run this as part of my NAnt build and am not using Votive/Visual Studio/MSBuild to create my files (not through choice - only just learned of these tools) Colin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
