'MSI Installer - conditional installation of prerequisites

I had a problem with SAP Crystal Reports SDK. It disappeared from web, so i had to create my own ClickOnce Bootstrapper package (for that I've used software called Bootstrap generator).

And its almost working as expected, it install SAP Crystal Report before installing main program.

The problem is that it is installing SAP Crystal Report everytime i run installer, even when its already installed.

It looks like my MSI installer doesnt detect that there is already installed version of SAP Crystal Report.

Product.xml looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Product ProductCode="SAP.Crystal.reports.x86" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/2004/01/bootstrapper">
