My application work with the only Net 4.0. But we have seen some minor problems that were fixed with an hotfix made by microsoft and bundled only with the net 4.5.So if it's possible to install the Net 4.5 I prefer to install this versione to make my application working good at 100%If this is not possible to install the net 4.5 (on WindowsXP systems) I can accpet that my application works at 99% with some minor problems. For doind this I can set the Net 4.0 as necessary prerequisite for the setup, and add the net 4.5 as a normal package (installed only on Windows 7-8 systems) in the Burn install chain as it will be installed after the net 4.0. My problem is that on a Windows 7-8 machine without the net 4.0 installed, the setup need to install the net 4.0 as prerequisite for the setup (to make the WPF Burn UI working) then It will install the net 4.5. In this way I have to install 2 package (an it takes a lot of time) when I could install inly the net 4.5 before the setup run. But I don't know how to change the WixVariable that define the prerequisite for the Burn setup depending on a condition, can I use this kind of condition on the WixVariable that define the prerequisites? <?if Windows 7 and Net 4.0 not installed?><WixVariable Id="WixMbaPrereqPackageId" Value="Netfx45Full" /> <?else?><WixVariable Id="WixMbaPrereqPackageId" Value="Netfx40Full" />
