Hi all,

I have a installer project in which I want to add a check if one of the software component(redistributable pkg ) is not found then it should go over internet and download and install that component.
How can I achieve this ?

What I have tried:

so far I am able to put a check by reading the registry setting for that particular component whether or not it is installed or not .
But I don't know how to put a check such that I do not get to see a message but silently it should download the package and install it.
