currently iam installing those two without checking any condition, what should I do to check if the same version for vc++ and .netframework exist, and if exist skip the installation ?
no need to install again if already exists.
You need to add detect condition and use registry search to get the installed version.
For example:
<?define NetFx451MinRelease = 378675 ?>
<util:RegistrySearchRef Id="NETFRAMEWORK45"/>
<ExePackage Id="NetFx451"
...
DetectCondition="NETFRAMEWORK45 >= $(var.NetFx451MinRelease)"
...
>
</ExePackage>
Same for the vc++.

I am working on a wix installer that Installs WebView2. I have this working. However, when I uninstall WebView2 is left on my system. How do I remove the WebView2 when the uninstaller is ran?

I have a very simple Burn bootstrapper that installs the Visual Studio 2015 Redistributable and then runs our application installer (created with Wix). During installation, after installing the redistributable, a dialog pops up automatically that asks if I would like to cancel (i.e., the same thing that would happen if I clicked the Cancel button).
I've created several other installers that use this same pattern and never have seen this problem. Below is the simplified installer with some identifying information removed:

I believe you should remove the following exit code, as it is not necessary for installing your packages. Possibly conflicting with your bootstrapper installation.
<ExitCode Value="3010" Behavior="forceReboot"/>
Hope this helps you!
I'm using a WiX bootstrapper to install .NET and my application. The .NET installation is specified in a chain using the statement
<PackageGroupRef Id="NetFx40Redist">
When I uninstall using the bootstrapper, the .NET package is also uninstalled. How can I modify the above statement to tell the bootstrapper not to remove the .NET package?
EDIT: Following is the code I ended up writing to do this. Comments are welcome if there is anything I should do differently.

Did you try using the "Permanent" attribute in the EXEPackage element?
EXEPackage
Glad you solved your issue but, as you mentioned, you do not have any detect condition setup so that is probably why you are seeing .NET processing every time you run your installer. If you add the following registry search and detect condition to your example you should not see that anymore:

i have done a project for outlook add-ins. then i used WIX to create a setup file for this add-ins. But we need resolve the dependencies too, so i made a bootstrappper project using wix, which first check for the dependencies and then install add-ins using the setup file. it works good.
Problem
is there any way to merge these two setup project into single project. ?
here is my code for bootstrapper.

You can chain in one bootstrapper inside other. Just modify Compressed="no" to Compressed="yes" in your exepackage, This will embed it in current project.

here's my code:
my problem is that .NET4.5 is installed only if it exists.
however MATLAB's MCR is installed whether it exists or not.
can you please tell me what's wrong with my condition:
InstallCondition="(NOT MatlabPath) AND (NOT MatlabMCRPath)"
fix after Rob's answer:
DetectCondition="MatlabMCRPathExists OR MatlabPathExists"
this condition should be false in order to install
Here is my final and working code:
this code check's for .NET 4.5 installation.
and for Matlab R2012a or Matlab MCR R2012a.

The InstallCondition attribute is used to determine whether a package should be installed on the machine. If true, the package is allowed to install. If false, the package is uninstalled. What you want is a DetectCondition attribute to determine whether the package is already present on the machine.
The fix is probably just to change the Matlab ExePackage/#InstallCondition to a ExePackage/#DetectCondition.
You can correct your RegistrySearch call like below:
<!--checking for matlab 2012a installation-->
<util:RegistrySearch Id="MatlabPath"
Variable="MatlabPathExists"
Root="HKLM"
Key="SOFTWARE\MathWorks\MATLAB\4.17\"
Result="exists"/>
<!--checking for matlab MCR 2012a 64 bit installation-->
<util:RegistrySearch Id="MatlabMCRPath"
Variable="MatlabMCRPathExists"
Root="HKLM"
Key="SOFTWARE\MathWworks\MATLAB Compiler Runtime\7.17\"
Result="exists"/>
<PackageGroup Id="Netfx45FullPackage">
This search sets the search result to the variable MatlabPathExists and MatlabMCRPathExists.
Then your condition check should be like following using those variables:
DetectCondition="(NOT MatlabPathExists) OR (NOT MatlabMCRPathExists)"
