Adding your Own Pre-requisite
If we want to add our own Pre-requisite for clickonce app we can use the "Boot Strapper Manifest Generator" (to generate the product.xml and package.xml), installable from the link
https://www.davidguyer.us/bmg/publish.htm

Pre-requisites packages for clickonce are located in  %Microsoft Visual Studio 8%\SDK\2.0\Boot Strapper\ Packages

Modifying the Maifests
Mage and MageUI Tools (mage.exe - command line tool , mageui.exe - GUI ) - Comes with .Net FrameworkSDK / Visual Studio SDK located in  %Microsoft Visual Studio 8%\SDK\2.0\Bin
Used to create\modify  a  new the maifest files.
