Programatically install Office 2003 PIA's

Hi,

I apologize if this is a wrong newsgroup to post this question but point me
in the right direction or group.

I am using ClickOnce to deploy a Windows Application. This application makes
use of Office2003PIA.
Problem:
After deployment, if a user downloads the application and if Office2003PIA
does not exist on the users computer, then I send a seperate link to install
the .msi file.
Another approach that I have tried (test env): In Publish feature, added it
to the "Pre-requisites" list, the problem is it tries to installs the PIA
even though I have it and in this case always gives me an error (maybe
because it exists)
Is there a way to programmatically check if the user has Office2003PIA, else
download it in the background and then run the application?

Is this possible?

Appreciate all your help,
Stephen
