How can I specify install order of prerequisites of Visual Studio ClickOnce?

Question

I am using VS 2022, and I use ClickOnce to publish my app.

My prerequisites are Crystal Report SP33, MS Access 2016 runtime, and .NET Framework 4.7.2.

When I run ClickOnce, the Crystal Report prerequisites runs first, but it requires .NET Framework on the machine to be successful.

This is my CrystalReport Bootstrapper package product.xml file:
