The WiX `philosophy` seems to be  don't add .NET dependencies to your install 
and don't redist the framework.    Just do an AppSearch/Launch Condition and 
tell the user to go do it on their own.     Personally this conflicts with my 
needs and results in one of the many reasons why I can't use WiX even though 
I'd like to.

You need a bootstrapper for this.  You won't be able to nest the installers in 
any way that works.

  [WiX-users] Installing .NET 3.5 redist?
          



Has anyone had any experience with installing the .NET 3.5 redistributable as 
part of a WiX installer? We are a Vista-only application, and know we’ll need 
to install .NET 3.5 to run. There’s a standalone exe (netfx35_x86.exe) that 
installs the redist, but we’re not sure how to integrate that into our 
installer. Calling it from our installer with a /q flag results in an error 
because there’s already another install (ours) running. 
  
Thanks for any tips or pointers!
