You can use a custom action for this. If you can implement a .NET
based CA your code can be very simple (use a WebClient instance to connect
to the URL). Make sure your CA displays a proper progress text, so while
your setup checks the URL the user knows the setup is not blocked.

Subject: [WiX-users] Calling an url during install process
Hello!
I have a new requirement I'm not sure how to meet. The install package
needs to call an url during the install process in silent mode.
I need to validate a url is accessible from the box the application is
installing before the actual install starts. It doesn't require any user
interaction so opening a browser and navigate to the url is not really an
option.
Is this possible using WiX? If so, how?
Thanks!
JL
