My application needs to know, via the registry, if Windows Scripting Host and WinZip are loaded, before continuing.

If not found, I need to run the WSH install and/or the WinZip install, both of which I will be including in my package to the user.

How do I run them?

Hi,
You need to write a custom action to check this and then set a property as "YES" or "NO". Then install  the specific components, or run the .exe file conditionally.
See the Windos Installer Help, topic "Install a Component Conditionally".
