You can use Burn to chain together 3rd party pre-requisites and your MSI(s). Detecting hotfixes is the tricky part. I believe the cannonical way to do so is via WMI, which you can do if you write your own bootstrapper application (BA) for Burn, but if you only want to use what comes out of the

What OSs do you support? If Vista and above maybe you can install .net 4.5 or 4.5.1. Although more computers would have .net 4.0 and above than 4.5 and I think you need to have SP2 on Vista (SP1 for .net 4.0) and SP1 on Windows 7. Or if you need to support XP also you could just install the

We are supporting XP sp3 also. We decided not to provide two different frameworks for the setup, since that would only complicate things, without some actual benefit. If there is already 4.5 or 4.5.1 installed, we just install our software. If there is no fx4 (or higher), we install fx5.0 +
