You can use Setup Factory For that...

I tried it , but it doesn't help unfortunately.

Visual studio has an option which says "DOWNLOAD PREREQUISITES FROM THE SAME LOCATION AS MY APPLICATION".

i think you have to use installer making utility in which you can add two or more then two software to install them as a single setup. here is a link , may be this will solve your prob .
