I have a Outlook add-in installer made using visual studio installer. I wish to add vsto runtime into my installer package so that user is not required to install it manually. Any suggestions?

I believe this runtime is installed as part of the main Office installation? It looks like the runtime is just needed for server installations: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178739.aspx (have a good read of this link and its linked sub-pages).
Apart from that, if you require more advanced installer features you should seriously consider switching to using the WiX toolkit (free and open source, here are some quick start suggestions) or something easier and faster to learn such as the free version of Advanced Installer. There is a "Prerequisites" view in Advanced Installer with several versions of the runtime that can be added. There is a free version of the tool, but I am not sure what features are available for use without a license.
