Glen,
Some of the prerequisites you mention (specifically the .NET runtime)
are packaged using Microsoft Installer technology themselves. As a
result, you cannot automatically install them from within your MSI - all
you can do is make your MSI verify that they have been installed.
The archives of this mailing list should provide some samples of the
syntax you need to use for your tests. As far as actually downloading
and installing the prerequisites, you need something known as a
"bootstrapper" or "chainer". Searching on those terms will probably give
you the information you need. Personally, I have uses NSIS as a
bootstrapper with some success.
Regards,
Richard

Hi,
Where can I find some information of having a WiX project check for
prerequisites like .Net2 and SQL Compact Edition and download them from
MS and install them if not already on on a users machine.
Thanks,
Glen.
