You can have only one MSI-based install running at one time. Your
InstallShield setup is probably MSI based, and so is the dotnet framework
setup. That might be something to do with it. The other thing that's
happening for some reason is that it's forcing a reboot and adding something
(to the RunOnce in the registry?) to start again after the reboot. That can
be something that InstallShield is doing behind your back or a consequence
of other script code you have in the setup.

If your InstallShield setup is MSI based, you need a separate launcher to
install the runtime, then install your app.
