Bootstrapper Manifest Generator

This tool is a set of tools for working with the Pre-requisite bootstrapper in Visual Studio that is used by Setup Projects and ClickOnce. there are projects to enable you to create your own "packages" to add additional pre-requisite installers to Visual Studio, and also to build a stand alone bootstrapper using MSBuild.

There has been two versions (one for VS2005 and one for VS2008) in the MSDN Code Gallery: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/bmg

And there is a KB article talking about how to use add prerequisite feature of VS2005 version from codeproject: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/Add_Custom_Prerequisite.aspx

In my particle case: Windows Server 2008 andWindows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and. NET Framework 3.5. After compiling the BMG package, I just need to put the output folder in the directory: C: \ Program Files \ Microsoft SDKs \ Windows \ v6.0A \ Bootstrapper \ Packages, then my VS2008 can recognize the new prerequisite.
