Thanks for the reply. I am not using VS 2005. Its all through the WIX. The
solution using custom action and setting it to run after InstallFinalize seems
cool but the problem is that i am trying to run the dotnetfx in quite mode
without showing its UI as it is supposed to be a part of my package. But yes as
you say its true, In this case if your installation completes there is no way
to be sure that the installation of dotnetfx is complete or when will it be.
Thanks

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 the end using a custom action , but
it has to be set after InstallFinalize so that your wix windows installer
instance ends when your dotnetfx.exe is called. I did it this way and it works,
although I don’t know the consequences of this beyond installing the framework
AFTER your application.

Installing dotnet framework along with your MSI package
How to include dotnet framework redistributable package (dotnetfx.exe) as a
part of your own installation package (MSI) such that the dotnet framework gets
installed during your installation process(Like through customActions). the
error i get is that another installation is already in progress. How to get out
of this problem and install the dotnetfx. Thanks
