You can download at the same time, but the install will need to wait.
Depending on your platform and on the version of the framework, the
framework may or may not use Windows Installer, and you can't have two
simultaneous installations.

Just design a YesNo dialog, or use a CA and call MsiProcessMessage(). The

You can set properties using the AppSearch-related RegistrySearch.
You can then use those properties in your UI sequence to ask the user and
use properties you set in that dialog to condition the removal.

Look up the component for the file you are searching for in your MSI (use Orca)
from the File table. Look up that component in the Component table and copy
both the Component and ComponentId values. Search a verbose log for each of
