:confused: Hi, My requirement is to have a single msi installer, which will in turn install couple of other msi packages, and VC++ Redistributable, and SQLExpress (both of them are .exes, which later invokes .msi). I've added Msi packages as chained msi, and exe as pre-requisites. but since ive prerequisites, my build output is not an msi, but an exe. If I add the exes to install during custom actions.. I'm not able to do a silent installation of the whole package on Windows 7. It complains of having two exection sequence trying to run in parallel. Is there a way to get out of this situation. Any thought is appreciated... Thanks.
As soon as you decide on single MSI installer you have to limit yourselves to so many things. Launching an installer can only be done as a chained MSI as silent installs will skip the custom actions in UI and execute actions can't go with second MSI process.
only way is chained MSI in your scenario and I cant seem to find a way out of it.
