Adding custom application installable as the pre-requisite in VS2005 deployement project



Hi,
I am trying to build a Set Up and Deployment Project for my Application
using Visual Studio 2005 Set up and Deployment Project.
I need to install two custom applications installable as the
prerequisites for the target computer along with the .Net Framework 2.0
in my deployment project.
Visual Studio 2005 provides the facility of adding the .Net Framework
2.0 as the pre-requisite in the deployment project.
I am trying to add one of my custom application installable as the
pre-requisite to my application using windows installer set up.
However, while running the setup.exe i am encountering an error "Error
reading set up initialization file".

Any help in this regard would be apprieciated.

Thanks,
Ashwin
