The Setup Prerequisites Location property lets you specify where the setup prerequisites that are selected in the Redistributables view should be located.

- Select Follow Individual Selections to use the locations that are specified for each individual setup prerequisite's properties in the Redistributables view.
- Select Download From The Web to download all of the setup prerequisite files included in your project (if necessary) from the URL specified in the setup prerequisite (.prq) file for each prerequisite. This option overrides the locations that are specified in the Redistributables view for each setup prerequisite's properties.
- Select Extract From Setup.exe to compress the setup prerequisite files into Setup.exe, to be extracted at run time, if necessary. This option overrides the locations that are specified in the Redistributables view for each setup prerequisite's properties.
- Select Copy From Source Media to store the setup prerequisite files on the source media. This option overrides the locations that are specified in the Redistributables view for each setup prerequisite's properties.

Note that if a setup prerequisite is added to a project as a dependency of another prerequisite, the location for the prerequisite dependency follows the location setting of the prerequisite that requires it.

If you select the Extract From Setup.exe option or the Copy From Source Media option and then build a release that includes a setup prerequisite that is not available on your computer, one or more build errors are generated for every file that the prerequisite requires. To avoid these build errors, use the Redistributables view to either download the setup prerequisite from the Internet to your computer or remove it from your project before building the release.
