Hi Marco, I'm kind of new to WiX. Where is the "net fx extension" that you mentioned? Is it just a XML? I'd like have a look at how they do the detection so I can clone the piece in my local package approach. Thanks!

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Give NetFx40Redist a local download path? If you check the net fx extension that is provided with wix you can see that all the options you can choose for the intall of the NET 4.0 need to download the package from the web, even the full version.I hope that they could add even this possibility, now the only way that I have found is to add the package as you have done. > From: y...@slb.com > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Date: Thu, 20 Jun 2013 16:52:27 +0000 > Subject: [WiX-users] Give NetFx40Redist a local download path? > > Hi, > > I'm facing a .NET installation issue.
