Error on adding new Packages to the VS Prerequisites Dialog Box

Question

I was trying to add some prerequisites 3rd party tools in Setup project prerequisites dialog box. In Bootstrapper, I write Product.xml and Package.xml manifest files. and added to the right location "~\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\~"
but  still new entry is not showing in dotnet project Prerequisites box (Properties\Prerequisites) 

Here is my sample Product.xml file. Please help me to find out where I am doing wrong.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Product xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/2004/01/bootstrapper" ProductCode="Custom.Bootstrapper.Package.RemoteDesktop">

<RelatedProducts>
<DependsOnProduct Code="Microsoft.Net.Framework.2.0" />
</RelatedProducts>

<PackageFiles>
<PackageFile Name="Setup.RemoteDesktopManager.6.9.8.0.exe"/>
</PackageFiles>

<InstallChecks>

<RegistryCheck Property="IsRemoteDesktopInstalled" Key="HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RemoteDesktopManager" />

</InstallChecks>

<Commands>
<Command PackageFile="Setup.RemoteDesktopManager.6.9.8.0.exe" Arguments="">

<InstallConditions>
<BypassIf
Property="IsRemoteDesktopInstalled"
Compare="ValueGreaterThan" Value="0"/>
<FailIf Property="AdminUser"
Compare="ValueNotEqualTo" Value="True"
String="NotAnAdmin"/>
</InstallConditions>

This issue is not related with TFS Build, can you ask this question in
