  • I think what you are looking for is a windows installer (which is in the VS Templates). But last I checked you could not deploy .Net framework from your custom installer. I could be wrong though. – Evan L Mar 14 '14 at 18:59
  • It will probably be a very large .exe file. Why don't you use an installer? Like nullsoft installer: [NSIS](http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page) – thepirat000 Mar 14 '14 at 19:02
  • Or innosetup is good too – Steven Martin Mar 14 '14 at 19:03

I have used this in the past to install my prerequisites.
