Customisable installer

375 256MB
Hi,
First of all my apologies, if I am posting question in the wrong place.

I have a .net windows application. I want to deploy it at clients place.
I want an installer, thats customizable, means, I can change the background color, skins, themes,logos etc.
(I found innosetup,bytessence which takes care of the above)
Now my next requirement is, when the client launches the application, he may or may not have .net framework.
I want that he should install it.
In bytesssence we have an provision, where it will look whether framework exists or not and thereafter will redirect to the url specified by us and the user can download from there.

But I dont want the client to download, I will infact supply the framework in my application itself and if the framework is not in his system(PC), it should take it from my own CD. (The CD will contain of the application, and as well as the .net framework).

Can anyone let me know of the installers which support the above features.

Regards
