Hello Guys,
I achive to include my executables through a basic project using custom actions but i am getting the following error :
"Error 1500.Another installation is in progress.You must complete that installation before continuing this one."
Could you please help me on this. Why is this error?
I have set Install UI Sequence : After ExecuteAction
and Install Exec Sequence : After InstallFiles.
I have search a solution for this but i have not found anything.
I would appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance!!

Windows Installer will allow only one installer execute sequence to run at a time, so you cannot run another MSI installation from the Execute sequence of an MSI.

You should be able to do this with an immediate custom action in the Install sequence, before ExecuteAction, since it is ExecuteAction that initiates the Execute sequence.
You should also note that doing this will result in a custom action that will not execute during a silent install, and is really not a Best Practice, since the Install sequence should ideally not make any changes to the system.
(There really isn't a GOOD way to run an MSI from another MSI except by using chained MSIs.)

Thanks Kathy. You have absolutely right. It's not a good idea to run an msi from another msi. I try this and there are so many missmatches 😞 ...
I think that if this was able to happen it will be most welcomed for many people.
Anyway...thanks a lot again for your time.
