How can I connect to a URL in a desktop Windows application Installer?

Question

I want to verify online if the installer can proceed. If I can change the website to whatever I need, is there any way to make this verification in a WiX generated MSI for a desktop app?

Answer 1

I had to create a WiX Custom Action to check it and added it to the After="FindRelatedProducts" in the InstallUISequence tag

Answer 2

I would get the WiX installer source code and check how it was developed.
