Hello Mr. Gombrelli, Here is code taken from a *working* wixproj project file in WiX 3.5. MSSDK_DIR is an environment variable set to the absolute path to the Windows SDK. It installs the .NET Framework 4.0 client profile. For the full version use Include=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0". I don't see much difference between this one and yours, with the possible exception that I didn't specify a Culture.
<ItemGroup> <BootstrapperFile Include=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0,Profile=Client"> <ProductName>.NET Framework 4.0 Client</ProductName> </BootstrapperFile> <BootstrapperFile Include="Microsoft.Windows.Installer.3.1"> <ProductName>Windows Installer 3.1</ProductName> </BootstrapperFile> </ItemGroup> <Target Name="AfterBuild"> <GenerateBootstrapper ApplicationFile="$(TargetFileName)" ApplicationName="MyApplication" BootstrapperItems="@(BootstrapperFile)" ComponentsLocation="Relative" CopyComponents="True" OutputPath="$(OutputPath)" Path="$(MSSDK_DIR)\Bootstrapper\" /> </Target> The <Import Project="$(WixTargetsPath)" /> element in my wixproj is between the </ItemGroup> and <Target Name="AfterBuild"> lines above. The entire set of lines above is at the very bottom of my wixproj. My wixproj builds an MSI. Order shouldn't matter, given that it is XML, but I know it does in Visual Studio vcxproj files.
