Forget about the Visual Studio installer and use:
GitHub - domgho/InnoDependencyInstaller: Modular Inno Setup Dependency Installer[^]

It has support for all kinds of pre-requisites, see:
Supported products list · domgho/InnoDependencyInstaller Wiki · GitHub[^]

And best of all, it's free :)

Also see: installers-for-windows-programs[^]

Yes, Inno Setup just works with files. The script language of Inno Setup however is Pascal which can take some time to get used to, but for simple setups the wizard is all you need.
