I've not tried this, but perhaps invoking a powershell command might work...

powershell -command "(new-object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('
http://ipv4.download.thinkbroadband.com/5MB.zip','C:\5MB.zip')"

something like

<install cmd= 'powershell -command "(new-object
System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('http://servername/installpackage.exe','C:\installs\installpackage.exe')"'>


?
