WIX Installer: Adding POS as a Prerequisite

I am new to WIX. Naked with me.

I want to install Microsoft POS (Point of Service) with my installer after installing .net fx, sql server compact edition, etc.

I am ready to provide a downloaded exe using the installer (there is no need to get it from the Internet).

I found a link. The article in the link indicates that you need to call the configuration with some parameters. But I do not know how to do this Wix. Secondly, I'm not sure if this is the right way. (maybe you need a merge module?)

Somebody knows?

Thanks Ariel
