Re: [WiX-users] How to run another msi from our msi installer

2008-12-01 Thread Peter McClymont
Running an msi from another msi is not supported, and will not work.

What you have to do is create a bootstrapper. This is an exe file that will
check for certain prerequisites and install them, and then it will run your
msi.

I have found the 'bootstrap manifest generator' to be of use (it is a bit
unstable though). Have a look here,

Also you can use visual studio to create a bootstrapper for you. When you
create an installer package within visual studio it gives you bootstrapper
options, and then spits out a file called setup.exe

Search around on google, there is heaps out there on the subject. Otherwise
get back to me if you want more of a hand.
