order of chained packages

Hello,

can anyone tell my whats the order of chained msi-packages.

Until now I think its a alphabetical order. Now I updated to InstallShield 2009 SP2, compiled a new package and try to install it. Now package2 is first installed, then package1.

I'm despaired 😞

Thanks

If your main installation includes more than one chained .msi package, InstallShield uses the Order column in the ISChainPackage table of the main installation to determine the order in which the chained packages should be launched at run time. All uninstallations are processed in reverse order, from highest to lowest order number; all installations are processed in forward order, from lowest to highest order number.
(This is mentioned in the following help topic: http://helpnet.acresso.com/Robo/BIN/Robo.dll?tpc=/robo/projects/installshield15helplib/ChainerAdding.htm)

I hope that helps.
