Running another setup from the Application Setup....Robert Please Help!
Hi,
I need to install the DB2 runtime client through my applications setup. I have a Basic MSI project and i have written a custom action to launch the Setup.exe for DB2 from my application. The issue that i am facing is that the moment the Db2 Setup is launched it gives me an error stating that there is already one application being installed and the other applictaion cannot be launched. Is there a way that i can launh the db2 setup first and on completion of that i could launch my setup.
Regards,
Samir

Could u tell me ? Can u use a batch file for the lanching? if it is possible u have to use CALL or START command.
"
exapmple install.bat
CALL msiexec blablablab1
CALL msiexec blabal2
or
START DB2.exe
START Setup.exe
"
Be aware, Im not confident in syntax. run command prompt and type "HELP START" or "HELP CALL"

Perhaps create an InstallShield setup prerequisite?

more suitable an example
start /wait msiexec.exe /I "C:\MSI1.msi" /qn
start /wait msiexec.exe /I "C:\MSI2.msi" /qn

Thanks for the replies.
Robert,
How do i add a setup pre requisite. And wat is the path of the exe that i can give. It would be great even if u could point me to to a document that helps me achieve this. Also the setup.exe for Db2 has many other files in the same folder how do i deal with that.

I tried editing and adding a setup preq but the problem that i am now facing is that there is folder structure that the DB2 setup.exe requires in order to execute the setup. i can only add files but i am unable to add a folder structure

You can use something like ../../../your folder
to copy the exe in the path you want.
