How to include .NET Framework in setup
Using InstallShield 2012 Express (ver 18), I want to include the .NET Framework 4.0 Full redistributable, for it to siimply install from the source location (a LAN location in this case) to the target machine -- if it doesn't already have that installed. But I do not want it to be having to download it from the Internet.
So, within Step 2 "Specify Application Data", under "Redistributables", I have "Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 Full" checked. And the location is "Installed Locally". I saw that IS did a download when I selected that.
Is this the correct way to specify this?
When I did a test-install, the installer seemed to be downloading the framework from the Internet (which is a large 50MB download) instead of just copying it over from the installer location. Why is this? What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for your help,

I want to include the .Net framework and create the setup package as .msi and not setup.exe.
I have created setup package using below link
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc442767(v=vs.120).aspx
Selecting prerequisite on Application Data (Step 2) => Redistributables also throwing error for .msi (no error for setup.exe but the requirement is msi package)
Please guide me on this.
Thanks in Advance..
