How to detect if a Server Role for WebServer(IIS) is installed + features

I am creating an InstallScriptMSI project, and I need to a way to verify on a SQL Server 2008 R2 server that
1. a Server Role for Web Server (IIS) has been installed
2. various features have been installed on this server (i.e)
a. .NET Framework 3.5.1 Features
b. WCF Activation

Any help/direction would be greatly appreciated.

I think the best thing to do is to look for registry keys. This is what I do in one of my projects.
function ScriptingToolsCheck(hMSI)
STRING szKey, szName, svValue, szMsg;
NUMBER nvType, nvSize;
begin
RegDBSetDefaultRoot(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE);
szKey = "SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\InetStp\\Components";
szName = "ManagementScriptingTools";
nvType = REGDB_STRING;
if(RegDBGetKeyValueEx(szKey, szName, nvType, svValue, nvSize) < 0) then
szMsg = "The setup needs IIS Management Scripts and Tools to be installed. ";
szMsg = szMsg + "Please add this role in Server Manager and then run this setup again.";
MessageBox(szMsg, SEVERE);
abort
endif;
RegDBSetDefaultRoot(HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT);
end;

you can use the "Is" operation to check .dotnet framework .
You could also automate IIS installation by using the command line options and passing a Text file to it.
sysocmgr /i:c:\windows\info\sysoc.inf /u:c:\iis.txt
Attached the test file for your reference.

Is there any chance that the "Is" function would find the Framework version 3.5 and not 3.5.1? My installer needs 3.5.1, is it possible that only 3.5 would be installed on a Server 2008 or Server 2008 R2 box? The reason I ask is because the Is function does not have a REGDB_KEYPATH_DOTNET_35_SP define.
