I believe that this sort of thing is best done with a bootstrap program,
before starting the Windows Install process, not with a Custom Action
during the install.
There are many bootstrap possibilities, including one included with
Visual Studio. I like the .dotNetInstaller program, which is open
source.
Yours,
Rennie

Subject: [WiX-users] Automatic installation.
Hi,
I am checking whether .Net 1.1 is installed or not and if the
.Net 1.1 is not installed, I will throw an error message and give the
user the option to download the .Net 1.1 package automatically by
creating a custom Action using VBScript. If the user clicks OK button, I
will run the URL
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=262D25E3-F589-4
842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3") and the user will download the .Net 1.1 package.
Similarly I will allow the user to run GPMC package if the GPMC is not
installed in the host computer.
I have created a Custom Action, Binary and
InstallExecuteSequence given below:
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallFinalize" />
<Custom Action="RunScript" After="LaunchConditions" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
<CustomAction Id="RunScript" BinaryKey="autoinstall"
VBScriptCall="AutoInstall" />
<Binary Id="autoinstall" src="Binary\Install.vbs" />
I wanted to know how to link the Condition element and VB
Script.
Kindly guide me how to go about.
Vb Script:
Function AutoInstall
Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
intMessage = Msgbox("Click OK to Install it or Cancel to exit
Setup?",vbOKCancel)
If intMessage = vbOK Then
objShell.Run("http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=2
62D25E3-F589-4842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3")
Else
Wscript.Quit(1)
End If
