How do I repair .Net Framework from Basic MSI project in Installshield?

I am working on basic MSI project in installshield for one WPF application.

I have added pre-requisite for .Net Framework, but this pre-requisite installs .Net framework according to registry value of .Net.

But my problem is, if .Net Framework is corrupted on user's machine, then how do i detect if it is corrupted or not and how do i repair it while installation.

Please suggest me solution for this asap. Thanks in advance.

Windows Installer has a mutex that enforces one installation per machine. So even if you had code to detect a broken framework, you wouldn't be able to start the repair.

What's the origin of this requirement anyways? IMO it shouldn't be your problem if the user has a broken framework. Point them to the verification tool and let them figure it out.
