Prerequisites functionality works - you can either embed the entire prerequisite in your installer or use redistributable packages.
Once the prerequisites are set, on installation, the installer checks/searches the target machine for these prerequisites and installs them only if they are not already present. you don't need search the target machine manually.
The installer checks and installs all the prerequisites before starting your product installation.
