问题
I have a setup project that I need to install a redistributable that is not available in the default prerequisite list. Is it possible to add this redistributable to the bootstrapper that the setup project creates?
回答1:
I figured out how to add Custom Prerequisites to the Visual Studio prerequisites dialog box.
MSDN as a good article on creating the prerequisite.
Basically you just have to create a product manifest and a package manifest, copy them along with your distributable file to : \Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages. Visual studio will automatically pick it up.

Take a look at Bootstrapper Manifest Generator tool (BMG) at http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/bmg
It is used for creating Bootstrapper packages and automatically adding them to Visual Studio's Prerequisites dialog box.
Edit: BMG can be downloaded from https://www.softpedia.com/get/Programming/Other-Programming-Files/Bootstrapper-Manifest-Generator.shtml now since the tool is deprecated apparently and is no longer located on Microsoft servers.

This can be solved by creating Custom bootstrapper package.Following link provides creation of it with a sample example http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee726596.aspx
