Launching a third party MSI package.
I am in the process of creating a setup for a new product and one of the drivers I need to install is supplied as an MSI package. There are separate packages for the 32 bit and 64 bit version of this driver.
How can I get my Installscript to run an MSI package? I have tried using DoInstall which apparently should work and also using LaunchAppAndWait but the MSI package does not appear to run.
I am sure I have read that this is possible but as usual searching help produces loads of results none of which are relevant to what I am trying to do.
How should i go about doing this?

use launchappandwait to call msiexec.exe and then feed it the switches to launch your msi.
