Google "GenerateBootstrapper task". That's what a Visual Studio 2005
project uses and it will work with a WiX generated MSI too.
The example in MSDN for the GenerateBootstrapper task shows the .NET
Framework as a prerequisite.
Forget about trying to install the .NET Framework from a CA, you're
asking for trouble doing that.

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.

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
