What kind of project are you using? If you're using a Basic MSI or InstallScript MSI, you may be prevented from running the LAAW because an MSI is already running.

If you're using a pure InstallScript project, please post your code.

I got the solution we have to call msiexec.exe to run the msi file.refer to this link.

Note that you can't launch a child msi from within the execute sequence of the parent msi. No 2 msi's can 'stay' in the execute sequence at the same time...
