Very Specific Custom Installer

I need an installer to do a couple of very specific things, like check the OS is either Win2K or XP and ensure that the correct service pack ( 4 and 1 ) are installed. I also need to check that IIS, SQL Server and MSMQ are installed.

I have started an application to check these things and that all works fine, but how to I put up the "Add or Remove" programs dialog when, say for example, IIS is not installed?

Cheers.
