Download and extract all and navigate to src\ext\NetFxExtension\wixlib
In there you will find all files for all .NET frameworks. Pick the NetFx451.wxs and copy all code in there into your Bootstrapper installer application.

see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5a4x27ek(v=vs.110).aspx
Build and Run, and it will download and install .NET 4.5.1.
Note that you need to replace the attribute values in Bundle element: MyApplicationName, MyCompanyName and MyUpgradeCode.
