I ran into a similar situation, and in the end, I too just set 4.5 as the prerequisite for my installer.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Install Net Framework 4.5 as prerequisite only if on windows 7-8 and not installed It is possible, but there will be a lot of edge cases. It may be better to simplify. What does your application really need? It sounds like it needs .NET Frame 4.0. If that's the case, .NET 4.5 is a superset and will satisfy the need for 4.0 in most cases. In which case, you'd be better off with just a dependency on .NET 4.0. Things only really get tricky when you've got to work with assemblies like Microsoft.IdentyModel.dll which was not in .NET 4.0 but is present in .NET 4.5 AND requires and additional assembly, System.IdentityModel.dll. Although we tried and tried to make something deployable on both Server 2008 R2 and Server 2012 with the .NET 3.5 version of Microsoft.IdentityModel.dll, in the end, we will support only .NET 4.5--just too much of a mess. -- John M.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Install Net Framework 4.5 as prerequisite only if on windows 7-8 and not installed The NetFX extension make the trick but it work with a web based installation of the Net Framework, so if you want to install the full version without douwnloading it while running the setup you have to add the net framework by yourself as posted by Nick.I use exactly this fragment of code, but this doesn't answer my question.I can install the Net framework without problems. But the question is.I have set the net framework 4.0 as prerequisite for the Burn setup. but if I run the setup on a Windows 7 machine with no framework 4.0 and no framework 4.5, I want to set the Net framework 4.5 as prerequisite instead of the 4.0.Any idea if is it possible to do? > From: jocoo...@jackhenry.com > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Date: Thu, 16 May 2013 20:35:32 +0000 > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Install Net Framework 4.5 as prerequisite > only if on windows 7-8 and not installed > > There's an undocumented NETFRAMEWORK45 Property in the NetFX extension in Wix > 3.6 that does the business. > > -- > John Merryweather Cooper > Build & Install Engineer - ESA > Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.(r) > Shawnee Mission, KS 66227 > Office: 913-341-3434 x791011 > jocoo...@jackhenry.com > www.jackhenry.com > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Nick Miller [mailto:nmil...@livetechnology.com] > Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2013 3:16 PM > To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Install Net Framework 4.5 as prerequisite > only if on windows 7-8 and not installed > > Here is what I use: > > <util:RegistrySearch Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Net Framework > Setup\NDP\v4\Full" Value="Version" Variable="Netfx4FullVersion" /> > <util:RegistrySearch Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Net > Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full" Value="Version" > Variable="Netfx4x64FullVersion" Win64="yes" /> > > <PackageGroup Id="Netfx45"> > <ExePackage Id="Netfx45" Cache="no" Compressed="yes" PerMachine="yes" > Protocol="netfx4" Permanent="yes" Vital="yes" InstallCommand="/norestart > /passive /showrmui" > SourceFile="dotNetFx45_Full_setup.exe" > DetectCondition="(Netfx4FullVersion="4.5.50709") > AND (NOT VersionNT64 OR (Netfx4x64FullVersion="4.5.50709"))" > InstallCondition="(VersionNT >= v6.0 OR VersionNT64 >= > v6.0) AND (NOT (Netfx4FullVersion="4.5.50709" OR > Netfx4x64FullVersion="4.5.50709"))"/> > > <Chain> > <PackageGroupRef Id="Netfx45"/> > ... > </Chain> > > Note the /passive /showrmui in the installcommand: This will prompt the user > to close .Net applications to avoid a reboot. > > Hope this helps, > > Nick > > -----Original Message----- > From: Marco Tognacci [mailto:mark...@live.it] > Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2013 3:59 PM > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [WiX-users] Install Net Framework 4.5 as prerequisite only if > on windows 7-8 and not installed > > I have a Burn setup with managed UI in WPF so I need to install The net > framework 4 as prerequisite for the installer and my application, but as in > the Net Framework 4.5 there are some usefull fix, I want to install the net > framework 4.5 if possible.I'd like to make this: > 1 - On WIndows XP - I want to Install Net Framework 4.0 as prerequisite for > Burn setup.2 - On Windows 7-8 and no Net Framework 4.0 installed - I want to > install Net Framework 4.5 as prerequisite for the Burn setup.3 - On Windows > 7-8 and with Net Framework 4.0 installed - I want to install Net Framework > 4.5 with the burn UI, (not as a prerequisite) Now I was able only to set Net > Framework as prerequisite for the Burn setup, and only with Windows 7-8 I > install even the Net Framework 4.5 during Burn setup.This way works, but if I > want to install on a Windows 7-8 system with no Net Framework 4.0 installed I > have to Install Net Framework 4.0 as prerequisite for the setup then I have > to install the Net Framework 4.5 inside the Burn setup chain.
