Hi thanks for the response,
Can you give me some links where there are pointers to the below
mentioned solution.

Also the third party component is a setup on its own.

There is lauch condition in the setup project, where you can specify .NET framework version to check.
Generally, user goes, to MS site, downloads and installs .NET Framework. However, you can indcude
.NET distrib in your setup and lauch it from there.

This can be done via custom actions, if you operate in the bound of setup project then you'll
have to create Installer class that will do the installation.

BTW, does that 3rd party component has own installer?

This can be handled with custom action that will run during uninstall.

Alternative to SetupProject you can consider WiX toolset.

IMO it gives more power, when creating installers...
