You cannot actually install your application and the .NET framework from a single MSI. You have to create a bootstrapper to install .NET. However, you could bundle everything in a self-extracting archive that automatically runs the bootstrapper after extraction.

I can't recommend a specific tool because I have not done this myself, but googling self-extracting archive setup.exe gives a numer of leads. Specifically, take a look at this stackoverflow question.
