How to include custom prerequisites in to my setup project

Mike is correct. Windows Installer does not allow more than one msi to be running at a given time. You will need to use some sort of executable that launches the msi installs for your prerequisites.
You could use generic bootstrapper, which come with Visual Studio 2005. However, the current version of the bootstrapper will not allow your end user to 'pick and choose' what they want to install. Here some information on the Bootstrapper:

The recommended (if not the only) way to do it is to create a bootstrap program (setup.exe) which will show the dialog, detect installed products and allow user to install products (by calling msiexec).
Best regards,
Mike.
