It looks like what you are trying to do is install the application along with its various prerequisites.
In the InstallShield installation environment, click Redistributable Resources. You will find merge modules for many prerequisites here. (if .NET 4.0 is not listed, use InstallShield Updater to download it)
There are several options regarding the handling of redistributed resources. See here for more information:
