For this you'll need a bootstrapper.
A bootstrapper is an application (SETUP.EXE most likely)
which tests your prerequisites and performs action on that (install them or just
give a message) and then starts the actual MSI installation.
Several bootstrappers can be found on the internet, but
there is not yet a general bootstrapper generator or something like that
;)
See http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1511156&group_id=105970&atid=642717 for
a feature request to use the Microsoft Component Installer SDK as bootstrapper
request for WiX

Onderwerp: [WiX-users] prerequisite download from WiX!!!
Hi All,
My requirement:
Setup msi package need to perform some pre-installation checks
for certain software installations existing on the machine and if a
particular software is not found, it should download and install
the missing software and then continue with my package installation.
Is it possible to do this using WiX? Please advice me a better way of
doing this.
Any resources/pointers will be highly appreciated!
thanks
