How to make prerequisites Bootstrapper for Sqlserver 2008 Express Sp1
The Sqlserver 2008 Express have some bug, and the Sqlserver 2008 Express sp1 do well. But I can only find the Bootstrapper for Sqlserver 2008 Express. Where to find the prerequisites Bootstrapper for Sqlserver 2008 Express Sp1?

You will have to roll your own. To do this, get the redistributable for SQLServer 2008 Express SP-1.
Then use the Bootstrapper Manifest Generator (BMG) to create the prerequisite package, and copy the package into the same folder as the rest of the prerequisites, probably c:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\V6.0a\Bootstrapper\Packages.
Close and reopen Visual studio, and the package will show up in the Prerequisites list.

But the process to make a prequisite package is tedious, and must to know manny things, like how to do system check, the parameters..etc.. I have tried, but always fail to make a Sqlserver 2008 Express Sp1 prequisite package.

Did you use the Bootstrapper Manifest Generator? It's fairly easy to run that, and then take the resulting package and put it in the appropriate folder. What part are you having problems with?
