[wix-users] Bootstrapper .NET Framework Version

[Harinatha Narisetty]

Hi All,
I am using bootstrapper ( WPF UI) to collect few details before installing the product ( the msi). The bootstrapper dlls are compiled in  .net framework 4.5 and here are the details in  bootstrapper config file.

<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
    <supportedRuntime version="v4.0"/>
  </startup>
  <wix.bootstrapper>
    <host assemblyName="MBA">
      <supportedFramework version="v3.5" />
    </host>
  </wix.bootstrapper>

Our application needs .NET Framework 4.6.2 ... So I have written below fragment to install  .NET framework 4.6.2 and referenced in  Bundle.wxs as below.
<PackageGroupRef Id='NetFx462Redist' />   Please see below for complete fragment details.

With this I have two issues.

1.      When installed on machine where there is no .NET Framework:  The setup is triggering .NET fx 4.6.2 installation as soon I launch  , after installation of 4.6.2  it is triggering system reboot. It is not executing the fragment I have written ( below)

a.     How do I change the image of .NET framework installation screen? ( the current screen looks like this  https://1drv.ms/i/s!ApARU-8ufFMSaxJOCjD9E6qmZRI    , you can click on this link without any fear.

b.    How do I avoid system reboot?

2.     When Installed on a machine where is .NET Framework 4.5 installed.

a.     Looks like everything works fine so far.

Can Somebody help with items 1.a and 1.b ?
