I have a third party product with an msi based installer that I need to

msiexec will complain that another installer (presumably my own) is already
running.

Microsoft has never documented how the shared service

such a service. The Type can be set to "shareProcess", but I think this is still

So for other struggeling with using CAQuietExec this is how to do it.

Yes, MSI supports running an executable from the Binary table.
Oliver,
I'm still a bit unsure about where you are getting the
error (I.e. are you building the installation from the command line? Within
Visual Studio 2005? Somewhere else?). Unfortunately, I also don't use Votive so
the vast majority of this reply is guesswork!
