Need help running MSI during install - Desperate!

Hi -

I've tried a bunch of ways to run this msi during my install and it never seems to run.

I also can't get a log file generated when I run my setup.exe so I'm totally at a loss here.

This is the MSI file I need to install:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e17e7f31-079a-43a9-bff2-0a110307611e&DisplayLang=en

I can run the MSI on my target machine no problem.
(Of course, I uninstall before running my setup.exe)

This is what I've tried so far for my setup.exe:
1b) Custom Actions > After Ready To Install Dialog:
Src Loc: Broswe...
File Name:
Cmd Line:
also tried (I would prefer silent)
Cmd Line: /qn
tried:
Cmd Line: /quiet

Then I tried this:

2a) Setup Files > Support >English: added the MSI file
2b) Custom Actions > After Ready To Install Dialog:
Src Loc: File exists...
File Loc: [SUPPORTDIR]
File Name/Cmd: msiexec /i "ExchangeMapiCdo.msi"
also tried (I would prefer silent)
File Name/Cmd: msiexec /i "ExchangeMapiCdo.msi" /qn

(I see the msi on the target machine in the temp dir, but it doesn't appear to be executed)

No Joy at all....

Can anyone please help?

OK, I'm able to run the MSI now, but I am getting and error stating that another installation is in process and it won't let me run the '2nd' one (the custom action one).

How can I run another MSI during my primary setup.exe ?
