A:
You can make use of the Launch conditions editor for specifying prerequisites on client machine. And you can package the rest and deploy it using one of two approaches: ClickOnce or Windows Installer. More on this here:

I am sure whether you want to mention those as pre-requisites or you want to bundle them with your setup project. If it is the first case, then use the Prerequisites button and specify the requirements as .net framework 3.5 and so on.If it is the second case, then use the Custom actions editor and include the installs for those software.

"Error 1 The install location for prerequisites has not been set to 'component vendor's web site' and the file 'DotNetFX35SP1\dotNetFX20\aspnet.msp' in item '.NET Framework 3.5 SP1' can not be located on disk.
