Installing SQL Express and .Net for IIS in Setup Project

I have a web service that uses SQL Express.

I have looked at web setup projects and Web Deployment projects. Under the setup project properties prerequisits I've selected .net framework 2.0,windows installer 3.1 and sqlserver 2005 express edition.

After I run the install on a new virtural machine (clean) there is no asp.net available in IIS and sql express is not installed.

How do I get these services installed durring my install process Do these services need to be installed with "Custom Actions"

Thanks MFZ

    Ok I feel dumb. I was running the .msi instead of the setup. So none of the prerequisites were being installed.
