Packaging Access + Runtime for Installshield - Windows installer

I have created install packages for my ade on mssql installation as a
windows installer package in installshield and it all works fine
except;

1. I want to determine whether Access 2002 is installed and if not,
install the access 2002 runtime.

2. I need to create a shortcut which includes the "\runtime" switch to
force runtime mode for users with a full version of access. The trick
is that this requires the full path to the executable which may be an
existing full version of Access 2002 or the newly installed runtime.

i.e. "c:\program files\office...\msaccess.exe" \runtime
"c:<pathtofile>\myproject.ade"

NOTE:
I do not have, and will not spend more $$$$ on the sagekey scripts.
Installshield is $$$ enough :) - The package and deployment wizard
isn't and option. Too limited

Thanks in advance.

These questions are better to ask in a newsgroup or forum dedicated to
Installshield.
