[wix-users] Install the .NET Framework Using Burn with packaging the .NET Framework redistributable

[Brian Enderle]

Here is how I implemented offline installation of Crystal Reports in my
bootstrapper project (a copy of the Crystal Reports msi is in my project
directory):

    <Chain>

      <!-- Define the list of chained packages. -->
      <MsiPackage Id="CrystalReports"
                  SourceFile="CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_7.msi"
                  ForcePerMachine="yes"
                  Visible="no"
                  EnableFeatureSelection="yes"
                  DisplayInternalUI="yes" />

      <MsiPackage Id="MyProduct"
                  SourceFile="$(var.MyProductWiXSetup.TargetPath)"
                  ForcePerMachine="yes"
                  After="CrystalReports"/>

    </Chain>


You should be able to do the same, just replace the Crystal Report MSI with
the .NET MSI.
