need basic design advice on sub-project

Hi,
I have to build an install that also invokes a sub-install. The sub is an InstallScript SingleExe project.

1) Where would I go about invoking this? I expect to be building a main InstallScript project.

2) The main install had ben lost -- this is what I'm rebuilding. It was a single Setup.Exe. Would the sub project somehow have been bundled into that?

Thanks - Chris

1. Depends on your dependencies, I would think. If both are InstallScript projects (that is, non-MSI), then OnFirstUIAfter might be a good place to run the second install.

2. You could add the second install as a support file in the first one, and then call it from SUPPORTDIR, if you wanted them both to be inside the first executable. Or you could just place the second in the same directory as the first and call it from SETUPEXEDIR.
