Amit, You will have to create a Web Setup project to create a msi installer package for your application. Your application's assemblies and its dependencies should be added to the web setup project. You can also add Dotnet framework runtime distribution package (Dotnetfx.exe) to your web setup project. In the project, you can provide conditions for your application's installation. These conditions will be checked by the installer during the installation and appropriate action be taken. There are some predetermined condition that you can use in your installer. When you create the setup project, make sure the bootstrapper property is set to "Windows Installer Bootstrapper". This will add a Launch Condition called ".NET Framework" which will check if .NET Framework is installed and install it if required. For further reference, please check the .NET Framework Deployement Guide[1]
