There are predefined properties Version9X and VersionNT that Windows Installer sets automatically.

do i need to create a custom action then insert it into the sequence tables. I want to check that the users installing the software are running 2000.

This is what I did to stop people installing on 95/98/ME:
Custom Action:
Action: AbortIf95
Type: 19
Source:
Target: This product cannot be installed on Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows ME
InstallExecuteSequence:
Action: AbortIf95
Condition: Version9X
Sequence: 50

You could also use this in a launch condition, e.g.
VersionNT>=500
VersionNT>=500
This will install only on Win2000, and above (e.g. WinXP)
