Adding Custom prerequsites to visual studio setup project

by

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.
