Solution 1

1) Go to Solution Explorer.

2) Right click on setup project.

3) Click on Properties.

4) Click on Prerequisites button.

5) Select your packages.

6) Below to that, Select second option radio button i.e. Download prerequisites from the same location as my application.

7) Build the application.

Now your build with your required prerequisites in it.

Hope this helps. :)

Error 1 The install location for prerequisites has not been set to 'component vendor's web site' and the file 'DotNetFX35SP1\dotNetFX20\aspnet.msp' in item '.NET Framework 3.5 SP1' can not be located on disk.

6) Below to that, Select second option radio button i.e. Download prerequisites from the same location as my application.

When selecting "Download prerequisites from the same location as my application" option, the prerequisite is retrieved from it's original location (in Program Files).

However, this works only if the prerequisite package exists. If the package doesn't exist, you need to either download it from the vendor's website or manually set the location.

If you still want to use the same location as your application, you need to modify the prerequisite information and make sure that its package is present on your machine. Perhaps this will help: http://danycxxx.blogspot.com/2009/09/download-prerequisites-from-same.html
