I was told in an earlier discussion that script failure is not supported in preflight script, so if a download can fail - which it can - this is not a supported technique for getting your files.  Can your program run without the download and then you provide an interface or instructions for getting the download from your application?

In your installation check you can require that the download has already happened and provide an error message instructing the user to go do that first.
