That won't even begin to help him. The .NET Framework installation must be bootstrapped. The merge module include in the setup is only there so that BCL assemblies won't be automatically added as local assemblies, nor should any install install them into the GAC (which, if .NET isn't installed prior to the Windows Installer MSI package being installed, there won't even be a GAC). It will not install the .NET Framework. This is also documented in the Visual Studio product documentation.

Additionally, while separate installations can be added as custom actions to be executed as a specific time, it is difficult to say the least to do this with VS.NET's very limited Windows Installer project. Either bootstrapping the DirectX installation (if it needs to be installed) or including it as a separate installation to be executed asynchronously with the main MSI package (typically after installation, without waiting for an execution return) needs to be done.

VS.NET's Windows Installer project is hardly an option. If it is used, more work is required to bootstrap the additional installations needed (especially the .NET Framework).
