Actually i transformed the msi to exe now with msi2exe tool then put it into the Before System Search Custom Action During Installation and now it starts before the installer starts. Thanks though for trying to help me (=

One way would be to wrap your installer and the msi installer into a Suite project.

Elaborate please. I only have the express version.

OK, that won't help. You need the Premier version to use Suite projects.

Could you install tour MSI as a prerequisite at the beginning of the install instead of at the end?

Hello ,

 

What kind of project you are using. like Basic msi or installscript msi or installscript project.

It is an "Express Project".

Add the MSI in Support directory 

Installscript On end function (It will invoke after clicking the finish button) .you can use Launchappwait method to run the MSI.

If your project is in BASIC MSI. then use Custom action add that custom action in finish button.

a) I don't have any Support Directory

b) i don't have installscript as i have the EXPRESS VERSION.
