title: Setup project: Adding .NET and Windows Installer prerequisites results in large installer
body: <p>I've created my program successfully. Now, I want to publish it. I've created a Setup Project in order to make an installation file. I've added .NET 4.0 Client and Windows Installer as project prerequisites (via <em>Setup Project Properties</em> &rarr; <em>Prerequisites</em>). After that, I build my project.</p>
  
  <p>This produces these files:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Setup files, .NET 4.0 Client, Windows Installer </p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>But .NET 4.0 Client and Windows Installer make my project most biggest. So I would like to know if there is a way to make my setup file contain just the <em>required libraries</em>, i.e. the setup program won't install .NET on the target host?</p>
