Thanks for help Maciej Los, finally i did it.
This works for sql:

Shell("msiexec.exe -i C:\Users\user\Desktop\SqlLocalDB.msi /quiet IACCEPTSQLLOCALDBLICENSETERMS=YES", AppWinStyle.Hide, True)

We can change qb instead of quiet, to show a basic ui for setup that is working

Thanks but, my question was not just adding prerequisite. I want to install it in my application, in background. I don't want to tell what they need to install

Could you please answer my last question?

I've found a code which does what I wanted:
Shell("msiexec -i C:\Users\user\Desktop\SqlLocalDB.msi /quiet AGREETOLICENSE=True", AppWinStyle.Hide, True)
This works correctly with other setups, but unfortunately, didn't work for sqllocaldb setup.
Could you try this? I would like to know where problem is..
