Installing .NET 3.5 SP1 from Microsoft Servers

I'd like to automatically have my installer download and install .NET 3.5 SP1 from Microsofts servers if it't not already installed. I found this thread (
http://www.installaware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3283 ) which talks about modifying setupnet351 to achieve this result. Unfortunately I'm extremely new to InstallAware and am not quite sure exactly how to modify the script to get it to do what I need. Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone? This is the last big feature that I need to evaluate before moving forward with our purchase of InstallAware. We can't host the files on our servers and the 90MB it adds to the installer won't work either.

Countless ways to achieve what you want, here is one way - its certainly not the only way:
Use
Download File to download MS runtime,
Use
Run Program (As) to install it,
Use
Read Registry to check if a download/install is necessary at all.
Without the
If...End statements, three lines of MSIcode - with them, five
