It should be possible, see GenerateBootstrapper/@ComponentsLocation (

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?

Other way around. The boostrapper contains your .msi.

Hello.
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
