I recently installed (and registered) Inno Setup, Visual & Installer, Graphical Installer Wizard, and NSIS on my PC. For some reason, though, the V & I extensions menu in VS 2019 doesn't display the options for Inno Setup and NSIS, much less their submenus. What's wrong?! What's more, I need to know if the Inno Setup process/editor/wizard automatically detects and accounts for a program's dependency files and prerequisites. (It would be tedious to have to find and add them all manually.)
Why aren't Inno Setup and NSIS in my Visual & Installer menu?

The answer for first part:
Starting from Visual Studio 2019, all extensions menus previously located in the Main menu were moved under the Extensions menu.
To clarify: This is a change in Visual Studio SDK = Microsoft changed how the extensions behave, this change applies to any extension, not only V&I.
This change also affects the Graphical Installer Wizard submenus and items (they are not present in VS 2019) so you need to launch them from GI NSIS/ Inno Setup installation directory (it is an Wizard.exe file).
As many people are complaining on this change, there is an extension which can change that to pre-2019 behavior: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Evgeny.RestoreExtensions#overview
Second part:
Inno Setup does not detect dependencies automatically, you need to do that manually.
There are many scripts already doing that, simply copy them, for example: How to detect and install prerequisite(s) using Inno?
