Please note that the dependencies detected by a Visual Studio setup project are more like suggestions. You shouldn't put too much trust in them since false positives are very common.

For a professional installer you should determine the correct dependencies yourself and add them in your project in the appropriate form. For example, some of the dependencies may be part of a runtime or framework which can be added as a prerequisite to your installer.

If you can't figure out what dependencies your application has, you can try using a dependency walker.
