Execute file from within setup

Hello,

I have a file that I want to execute from within setup (SQL Server express setup file).
The way I have it now is as follows:

    The exe file is a component and I launch it during OnFirstUIBefore event in my script. The problem with this is that the file has to be copied to the user's computer as a component's file has to have a destination location.


How can I launch it from my setup app without it having to be copied onto the user's computer? I can't have it as a pre-requisite as the user has an option of installing it or not.

Thanks,

Why don't you use prerequisites to install Sql-Express?

If you don't want to do so, you can put the Sql-Setup in Support Files/Billboards section and launch it via SUPPORTDIR ^ "setup.exe".
