Use Burn. Both Visual Studio and SSDT installer use it to download a lot of stuff during their installs. It is designed for this scenario.

Presently it successfully displays the user a message and exits if framework 4.0 is not installed on the users machine. But we wanted to give user the message to download it from the link if not installed. How this can be done. While going through Web I found like creating one separate XML as product.xml writing the code there and then integrating it with main MSI. But we have unable to make any progress over it. Also I can't find any suitable documentation for it. Below is some part of my code, can anyone help us with this, <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"; xmlns:netfx="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/NetFxExtension";> <Product Id="*" UpgradeCode="$(var.ProductUpgradeCode)" Name="xxxx" Version="$(var.ProductVersion)" Manufacturer="xxxx" Language="1033"> If I try to add 'xmlns=http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/2004/01/bootstrapper' in upper node as xmlns:netfx="" it gives me error. Also all the condition check for .net framework, Upgrade scenario, and directory code is written under Product node. We don't want to ship the installer of framework 4.0 with MSI as this would increase the size of final installer. Is this possible to give user the option to install framework 4.0 from net if not installed. Thanks, Nikhil. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
