If you work throught the following from microsoft it works a treat, only thing is it creates two setup files for your application, you need to use the one without the icon

It worked perfectly for me, any questions and ill try to help

What I read in the book microsoft does not recomend to includ the Framwork in the setup application. The reason is that the user cant update Framwork from microsoft web site. For this reason in Visual Studio.net one can't do this insted you can chek during the setup if the user has it by the dependency property and redirect/inform about downloding it from MS. In Visual Studio.net it is done for us but the user still need to instal it in order to run the application.

I hope this helpped you a litle
