I just found that NONE of these downloaders (Inetc, InetLoad, etc) work when the user doesn't have .NET installed.
I just tried it today, which seems to be a major bug, specially when the script is intended to download .NET installer:

DownloadDotNET:
DetailPrint "Beginning download of latest .NET Framework version."
NSISDL::download ${DOTNET_URL} "$TEMP\dotnetfx.exe"

(This does not work if user doesn't have .NET installed)
