I need to include the full .NET 3.5 sp1 installer into my installer, which is in WiX. I need that boostrapper to be entirely self contained, with no web access at all.

By default, the hour in a format string for a DateTime transforms 0 into 12. For example, if you have DateTime dt = new DateTime(1999, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0); string s = dt.ToString("h:mm:ss"); the value of s will be "12:0:0", not "0:0:0". Is there a way to get "0:00:00" instead? ...
