Prerequisites are not installing on old XP machine

I have a Windows XP machine which has not been updated in a long time and I am running my setup package on it. It seems to skip the bootstrapper and go directly into the setup saying that .NET framework is not installed. Is there a minimum system version required for the bootstrapper to function? I have the following prerequisites:
  • .NET Framework 4.0 Client Profile
    Windows Installer 3.1
    Adobe Reader 9
    Visual C++ 2010 Redist x86
Thanks!

Re: Prerequisites are not installing on old XP machine

Just realized that the .NET installer was throwing an error because it was missing WIC ... is there a prereq package for this available for Advanced Installer?

EDIT: Ok, now I really feel silly ... I didn't realize how easy it was to create your own prerequisites ...

Here is what I used for my WIC settings:

Properties:
- Name: Windows Imaging Component
- Min Version: 1.0

Setup Files:
- Download single file from URL
- URL: http://download.microsoft.com/download/ ... 86_enu.exe
- Install Command Lines: /q /norestart

Install Conditions:
- File Version: [SystemFolder]WindowsCodecs.dll (1.0+)
- Registry key exists: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\WIC
- Install only if all conditions are false
