Hi,

Thanks for the tips. I'm still confused ..

The tutorial link you suggested says .. 

Step 1: Create a bundle for your application
Follow the instructions in Building Installation Package Bundles

Step 2: Add a reference to one of the .Net PackageGroups
Add a reference to WixNetFxExtension to your bundle project
Add a PayloadGroupRef element to your bundle's chain that references the
.Net package required by your application. For a full list see
WixNetfxExtension. Ensure that the PayloadGroupRef is placed before any
other packages that require .Net.
<Chain>
    <PackageGroupRef Id="NetFx45Web"/>
    <MsiPackage Id="MyApplication"
SourceFile="$(var.MyApplicationSetup.TargetPath)"/>
</Chain>


Does PayloadGroupRef mean PackageGroupRef? Also , where do I specify the
standalone .net file I have downloaded and need to bundle alone with the
installer ? 

>From what I understand, after I create the bootstrapper project in visual
studio, all the code I need to write in the Product.wxs file would go within
the <Chain> </Chain> tags. Is that correct ?

So all I need to do is chain the .net 4.5 standalone exe that I have
downloaded, and my MSI after that. I also need an install condition for the
.net package so it wont install it if it is already installed. Any idea how
I do this ?
