setup project .net 4 prerequisite

I added .NET Framework 4 to my setup package as a prerequisite. When installing this package, an error reports that installing .NET 4 requires WIC "windows imaging component", which I've also added as a prerequisite.

But the installation failed due to a newer version of this component being already installed.

I want to ask how to check whether this WIC is installed or not and skip installing it when there is a newer version?

At your package add check condition for the prerequisites so that if it is already installed then don't install.

You are correct. .NET does depend on this component. You could consider creating your own bootstrapper package using this: http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/bmg
