You can use Visual Studio (if you have Professional or better) to create an installer that will ensure the appropriate framework version (and any other dependencies) is installed (and at the end optionally launch the application).

Then you can create an autorun file that will start this installer.

You can also use ClickOnce. This is available in the Express versions of Visual Studio.

The prerequisites, like the .NET Framework, are installed by the ClickOnce bootstrapper.

In the properties section of your project under 'Publish->Options->Deployment' check the 'For CD installations, automatically start Setup when CD is inserted'. So you just need to copy the generated files onto your cd.
