Create silent installer

I have .NET application and I create my installer using MS VS 2010 setup template. I want my setup to be in silent mode. for this purpose I used batch file with following context:

start setup.exe /quiet

and everything is OK, when the target PC already has .NET. But if target PC doesn't have .NET, my setup detects this and starts .NET installation but in Normal mode (not in silent mode).

How can i set up it to be in silent mode.

It's possible to install the .NET redistributable package quietly. See this link for NET2 example. I'm sure that later versions will be similar.

I'm not sure if you can override the Visual Studio boot strapper behaviour for distribution, but you could always write your own batch file to perform the installation.
