If you create a custom action with .Net, then a compatible version of .Net
must be installed. However you could deploy your msi as part of a bundle,
and use the bootstrapper to install .net first as part of your chain, rather
than expecting the user to install .Net as a separate step. You cannot
Anyone understand what is happening in this scenario? I know how to 'fix'
the issue, I just want to understand why the fix is needed.
