I'm looking for Bootstrapper Manifest Generator for VS2010. Where can I download it? I want to include MySQL installer in my C# setup project in the way I include Net Framework. Can you help me?

You can include additional installer with your setup installer in VS2010 with the help BMG_2008. Just Build the Manifest using BMG_2008.

the Build results dialog box as you need to locate the generated files and manifest file, normally the location of this is here “C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\Your Installer” As this version of Bootstrapper Manifest Generator is version 2008 so it does generate in v6.0 folder. In order that this Prerequisites will appear in Visual Studio 2010 IDE you need to do some tricks. Just copy the whole folder to this path “C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages“, the v7.0A folder is the location for all the Prerequisites Packages for Visual Studio 2010 Projects.

After copying you can now view this Prerequisites package on Prerequisite Dialog box of VS2010.
