Without being too harsh...
A) this list is for wix development, not for ideas on how to rehash alternative
solutions to windows installer
B) installing .net from a ca will "never" be supported
C) your requirements seem warped at best... If they are asking for a msi
instead of an exe, then you should ask why. Burn bundles will deploy with SCCM
with ease. If they don't trust burn, they can always deploy the package without
burn assuming THEY want to take on the burden of managing all of the intracies
on their end.

Following are my requirements
a) I need to check the .Net 3.5 prerequisites and if it is not present, must
install the .net
component followed by the instllation of my application which includes copying
the files to Programs files.
Can any one suggest is there any way to the do the same in Wix without using
Burn(Bootstrapper)?
I need MSI as the starting point rather than a exe file. ( that is the reason
why i dont prefer bootstrapper
along with limitation that we cannot create Wix Burn without UI)
I have tried out writing a custom actionn in C++ which will lauch dotnet
installer - But it is not
working since we have multiple installers running at the same time - (My main
installer and the dotnet installer)
Any suggestions are welcome.
If it is not possible in Wix, can any one suggestion some other technologies
through which we can solve the problem.
Kindly note that we need to handle two installers in my problem - the
application installer and dotnet installer.
