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

[Goran Malovic]

It would be nice if you gave more details, like which method did you try (in provided link).
Did you try to distribute it compressed into your setup.exe? I have read somewhere that this is not legal, according to MS distribution license...
Or your setup will result in 2 exe files (setup.exe and framework_46.exe)?
If you did something like this:
<Chain>  <PropertyRef Id="NetFx46Redist" />  <MsiPackage .. /></Chain>

then you need to have following folder structure when you distribute your product:
setup.exeredist\NDP46-KB3045557-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe (note the redist subfolder)

 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.
