I have the ComponentsLocation and CopyComponents set to 'Relative' and
'True' respectively. I'm also seeing two new folders, DotNetFX40 and
WindowsInstaller4_5, under my project directory and they seem to have the
related executables. So does it mean I should be copying these two folders
to the root of my installer media along with the setup.exe file created in
my project directory and the MSI file in the bin/Debug directory?
Installation using that media won't need to connect to the internet and
download the pre-requisite files right?

That depends on the value of the ComponentsLocation attribute of the
GenerateBootstrapper Task in your wixproj file, as well as the
CopyComponents attribute.

See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164294.aspx

For example, if ComponentsLocation="Relative", and CopyComponents="true",
then they would get copied alongside your bootstrapper EXE in a separate
directory.  I'm not sure about embedding them in the MSI; I know Burn can do
it, but the GenerateBootstrapper task is part of MSBUILD, not Burn.
