You need 2 projects. You have 2 outputs, an MSI & a Burn executable which wraps
the MSI and deals with your pre-reqs. You can configure your burn package not
to register itself or to not register your MSI. See the Burn documentation ->
http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/authoring_bundle_intro.htm
BTW all that extra code Steven posted is completely superfluous. All you
literally need in your Burn bundle XML is
<Chain>
<PackageGroupRef Id=" Netfx4Full"/>
...your msi stuff goes here...
</Chain>
As WiXNetFxExtension has all the authoring required to do all the checks &
downloading etc. (and has been checked & tested by everyone who uses it on a
daily basis).
Personally I use
<PackageGroupRef Id="NetFx40ClientRedist"/>
because I hate those 'on-demand' installer bundle things.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Install Prerequisites (.NET Framework)
Thanks Steven,
I try to get it to work.
Also a question regarding, how to arrange things.
I have two projects, one that gives me a MSI as output, Its just plain
msi-file, no check for .NET framework. The other is a Bootstrapper Project, it
hava a reference to the MSI-project.
Is this the best way to do it? Or can I keep it in one project? How?
Otherwise I seems to end up with two products / versions, one inner and one
outer?
Br,
Sam
