InstallShield Prerequisites

Question

I want my Basic MSI installer to check if following softwares exist on target machine, before installation:

1. SQL Express 2008
2. .NET Framework 3.5

If they exist, setup should continue. It any of these is missing, setup should install prerequisites as part of the installer.

Please guide me, what is the best way to do this?

Thanks.
