you can write a script with LaunchAppAndWait function to call the executable, then you can invoke the function using a custom action.

The LaunchAppAndWait function working fine in windows XP and Windows 2000, but not in windows Vista. I am using the /qn option to install and I guess the installation unsuccess in vista is due to the UAC although I already login as Administrator..

Do you know what should I pass in the parameter to make the silent installation of second setup successful?

You need to use the evil "run as administrator" 😛
