Launching External MSI package from a setup
I am using InstallScript project type in InstallShield 2009. I want to launch an external MSI package from my current setup.
I am able to launch external executables using DoInstall or LaunchAppAndWait. But these functions are failing to launch msi packages.
Please suggest some method to launch msi packages.
Thanks in advance.

MSI packages are launched with msiexec.exe. You can typically pass the following command line to a function such as LaunchApplication or LaunchAppAndWait:
msiexec.exe /I C:\PathToMsiFile\MsiFile.msi
and ensure the path and filename point to a valid MSI package.
msiexec.exe /I C:\PathToMsiFile\MsiFile.msi
and ensure the path and filename point to a valid MSI package.
