This might help you even though it's for VS 2005 but this will work with VS2008. I was able to get Windows Installer 4.5, NET35 SP1, SQL 2008,VC++2005 Runtimes and Crystal Reports 10.5.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Bootstapper in VS 2008 Hi Anweshi, My application current requires things like: .NET 3.5 SP1, SQLNCLI, SQLCMD, Windows Installer 3, Crystal Reports 12. There may be others too. Is there something in the Wix MSBUILD tasks that can produce a Setup.exe to launch these pre-reqs?
