How to configure MSI that already installed with nested installation?

[OMSTEF]

Hi,

I have my parent MSI that do several actions and I want it to customize another MSI that is already installed.
I have its product code.

I tried to use Custom Action 39 but it fails with Error 2335.


Is there a way to do what I want ?

Thanks for replies.

There is a limitation in the MSI engine in that you can only use the nested installation actions on a setup that you have actually installed using a nested action.

You can also not run another setup when in the Execute sequence of an MSI setup. The only thing you can really do is use your distribution system or The InstallShield Editor's setup prerequisite functionality to launch the configuration process separately.

Thank you for your reply but I noticed that i have an error of the Nested MSI in PublishProduct action. MSi think that it's the first install and try to install my second MSI.
Is it possible to skip PublishProduct action of my nested MSI ?
