Dave,
You could have a look at the "Microsoft Component Installer" (PSetup).
It provides a bootstrap that will install your redistributables and then
your app. The redistributables can be got from local source or the web.

Subject: [WiX-users] Need recomendation - including .NET redist
Hi;
We have had feedback from 4 potential customers that having .NET 2.0 as
a prerequisite with the message taking them to the download made our
installer "too difficult and too complicated" (and note - these are
programmers!)
So we need to have installing the .NET framework (and J# redist) as an
automatic part of our install. So my questions are:
1) Is it better to have the redist in our install, or have it that when
they click Next it downloads it and runs it automatically?
2a) If it's include it, anything special we have to do to have this in
our installer?
2b) If it's download and run, how do we set that up to go?
thanks - dave
