[John Cooper]

No.  1) Which .NET Framework you MBA is compiled and linked against; and 2) the entries in the BootstrapperCore.config

Ok I see thank you, what im not seeing is which settings govern what, ie what do the following influence :

    <WixVariable Id="WixMbaPrereqPackageId" Value="Netfx4Full" />

Is the value I use above responsible for telling the BA what .Net runtime to use? or is it below?


  <startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" />  </startup>


or is it:


    <wix.bootstrapper>        <host assemblyName="TestBA">
<supportedFramework version="v4\Full" />
<supportedFramework version="v4\Client" />        </host>
</wix.bootstrapper>

Ive bought Nicks book A Developers guide to Wix which is very good but doesn't cover a lot of ground with the above settings, if it could be explained in dumb laymans terms I might start to understand whats going on.
