I created the setup file using Visual Studio 2010 successfully, but now I need to include third party software and this software should be installed with my setup file and also need to check before installation if it is exists already on vendors machine if not, then do the installation. Can any help me of this??

1Can you provide some more explanation and break down each question? For instance, what do you mean be 'third party software'? A .dll file? – Davin Tryon Jul 12 '12 at 10:03

This could be a good start : the bootstrapper link. Also look at this for the how to of creating bootstrapper package link2
[Edit]
You can download the bootstrapper form here. And it will work for VS 2010, but you need to manually move the generated files to the new bootstrapper location (in my case, 64-bit Windows 7, C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages).
If you have VS open, you will have to restart it in order for your prerequisite to show up in the list.
