Run a prerequisite silently along with application setup in visual studio 2010

I am trying to create a setup of my application along with all of it's prerequisites.

I want iTunes as prerequisite for my application, and want to install it silently along with my application. i.e. I want to install my prerequisite silently.

I have made bootstrap package for iTunes(now it is appearing in prerequisites list) and made by set up.

The set up is asking for installation of iTunes when it is run.

I want my iTunes set up to run silently along with the application setup.

Now it is showing dialog box :

"The following components will be installed on your machine: [Component List] Do you wish to install these components? If you choose Cancel, setup will exit. [Install Button] [Cancel Button]"

I am using Visual Studio 2010 install project (this is not an install shield project).

How to achieve this?

As far as I know, that message:

"The following components will be installed on your machine: [Component List] Do you wish to install these components? If you choose Cancel, setup will exit. [Install Button] [Cancel Button]"

is not from the setup.exe, or your MSI setup, so it must be coming from one of your prereqs like iTunes, but the component names are not shown so I've no idea which one. Either way, it looks like your silent install command line is in fact not silent. Don't assume that they are all the same.
