<PackageGroupRef Id="NetFx45Web"/> will reference "dotNetFx45_Full_setup.exe"
in your "redist" folder, and if it isn't there it will download it from
Microsoft's servers (@ http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=225704). All of
that is in WixNetFxExtension already written for you.
The Product.wxs file goes in a separate WIXPROJ file that is a separate project
in your visual studio solution. So you will have two setup-related projects in
your solution, one is for your MSI and the other is for the setup EXE. The
bundle goes in the EXE one and the product goes in the MSI one.
