Yes, these are the instructions (in the web link Bob provided) that I tried to closely follow.  The .NET install runs but the bundle copy is not used as expected.

Yes, I think PR #343 is designed to address my issue.

I wrote about it in the doc: http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/howtos/redistributables_and_install_checks/install_dotnet.html (step 3)

I did not realized that I could include .Net for offline scenarios, or I had not dug deep enough to solve that problem. But based on your comment about docs, I found this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16465971/including-net-installer-in-wix-bundle-not-detecting-if-already-installed

I will have to try this as this is a pain point in my web deployment model.  Any other docs would be of interest also.  Just commenting, I don't mean to hijack this thread.

Compressed in bundle.  The reboot ate my log.  Should have saved it.  As soon as I can get a reset, I'll spin it again.

Basically, I'm trying to exactly mirror the instructions in the documentation for embedding the .NET installer in the bundle.

"in redist" -- loose file or compressed in the bundle? Logs, as always, reveal the deeper truth.

1)      Expected behavior:  .NET 4.6 exe installer in redist will be used if .NET 4.6 is missing;

2)      Actual behavior:  Engine looks on my desktop for a redist folder with executable for .NET 4.6.  Not finding it, it downloads it.

The down load is fine when I'm not on a closed environment, but closed environment is the majority of installs in the field.  I vaguely remember that this might have been related to the clean room and that there might be fix for it.

Hoping my recollection is right.
