How can I include prerequiste files in my installation to install

Hi, I'm using vs2005, .net 2, C# for windows application. My application
needs a couple of prerequists like .net 2.0 and windows installer and some
service packs. I have all these files. How can I include them in my
installation to install when the installation detects they're missing on the
tartget macine.
Right now my application detects that th system needs .net and asked the
user to install that first from the web download but there are 2 problems
with this:
1. It doesn't go to the correct web url to download. Where can I specifiy
the correct url?
2. Once the .net is installed, the user has to execute the application
setup again. Is there a way for the install to know to continue with the
application installation after the .net is installed?
Thank you.
