Maybe my question is unclear. Check out the following two files. https://github.com/wixtoolset/wix3/blob/develop/src/ext/NetFxExtension/wixlib/NetFx4.wxs https://github.com/wixtoolset/wix3/blob/develop/src/ext/NetFxExtension/wixlib/NetFx452.wxs
The root of the issue appears to be that NetFx4.wxs declares two variables used by a managed bootstrapper application: <WixVariable Id="WixMbaPrereqPackageId" Value="NetFx40Web" /> <WixVariable Id="WixMbaPrereqLicenseUrl" Value="$(var.NetFx40EulaLink)" /> NetFx452.wxs does not declare these variables. Is it supposed to or am I supposed to declare them myself? I have been looking a little further and it looks like maybe it was a bug that NetFx4.wxs declared them at all and I should have always been declaring them myself.
