one Installer for several software projects
Hi
We have to deploy several different software projects which includes windows services, wpf and silverlight applications.
Some of these projects have to be installed in a specific order.
Right now, for each of this project we supply one MSI package which has to be installed manually.
We would like to have only one Installer for all these software projects which should also be updated automatically via a service.
My questions:
Is this achievable with InstallShield?
And if so, can you deliver me some links where I can look up how?
I would be really thankful for any supportive answer, due I am not really familiar to this product and I'm a bit lost of which way I should choose.
Thanks.

We had similar case and requirements.
For now my suggestion is to drop InstallShield Setup.exe bootstraper and replace it with the custom solution (executable) that will manage this.
dotNet installer (http://dotnetinstaller.codeplex.com) is a good example. Could be used also.
Of course if InstallShield won't announce any plans to improve it's own bootstrapper engine in the replies...
