how to call one msi from another using installshield pro?
Hi, We wanted to invoke welcome dialog,license agreement dialog first before the pre-requisite (which has installation of another exe) followed by post-installation script. To achieve the above flow, we have planned to build seperate MSI for pre-requisite (download & install third party exe from web URL) and another MSI for post installation steps. Hence we have parent/main MSI project which will have sequence of action such as welcome,license agreement dialog, MSI project which contains the pre-requisite software, MSI project which contains the post-installation scripts. It would be great if the experts can suggest the better approach if any for the above scenario rather than creating mutliple MSI. Appreciate your earliest response along with sample code if possible. Thanks in advance.
