Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Calling a external setup package Hey Jim, There is not an "official" way to do this at the time. You could develop your own "bootstrapper" that would launch the sequence. It is highly recommend that you don't use a custom action to launch a secondary process while installing. On a positive note, WIX is currently in the process of developing Burn (a bootstrapper). No official release date is set at this time.
