Noob Question on Launching Embedded Files
My employer is switching us from Wise Package Studio 8 to InstallShield 2011 sometime soon. I'm working with an eval copy for now and trying to find my way around re-packaging. One thing I'm running into is how to install a set of files and then launch one of them locally using parameters silently. There are about a dozen .cab files and a setup.exe that runs with /silent. Is there a how-to document or article someone can point me to that shows how to compile the installation into a single .msi and run the embedded file during the installation process? I apologize if this is the wrong forum to post this in.

ok. I'm guessing the lack of responses means this is either a really stupid question or doesn't belong here?

You can look at custom actions to launch a file that is part of installation.
look for EXE Custom Action
that should help
