As per microsoft...

.NET applications and components require the .NET Framework to be already 
installed on the computer where the application or control runs. 
Installers built using Visual Studio deployment also require the .NET 
Framework; therefore, you cannot install the .NET Framework as part of a 
deployment project. The .NET Framework must be installed using the .NET 
Framework redistributable (Dotnetfx.exe) before installing your 
application. For more information on installing the redistributable, 
see .NET Framework Deployment Guide.
