[wix-users] Unable to get .NET 4.6.1 to not install from the internet with Wix Bootstrapper

Wed Jun 21 13:15:13 PDT 2017

I've got a WiX bootstrapper bundle that I've included the reference to NetFxExtension and added these lines inside my bundle

<Chain>
      <!-- .NET Framework 4.6.1-->
      <PackageGroupRef Id="NetFx461Redist"/>

      <!-- SQL Express 2014 SP2--><!--
      <PackageGroupRef Id="SQLServerExpress2014SP2"/>-->
      </Chain>
      <PayloadGroup Id="NetFx461RedistPayload">
        <Payload Name="NDP461-KB3102436-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe"
                 SourceFile="redist\NDP461-KB3102436-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe"/>
      </PayloadGroup>

As per the documentation on how to include .Net redistributable.

I also added the NDP461-KB3102436-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe to my project in a redist folder that resides with my Bundle.wxs

However when I build the exe and attempt to download it from another computer through an IIS server it always starts fine and then just downloads it from the internet.
