Is there a way to call an MSI from within an MSI (to install a missing
component that is needed by the main MSI to install successfully).  I
have it setup as a custom action to check for this component and if it
is not already installed then it kicks of the secondary MSI to install
the missing component.  I should mention that the second MSI is not one
that I have written.  The custom action works fine and launches the
second MSI; however I get an error message stating, "Another
installation is in progress. You must complete that installation before
continuing this one." 

 

Is this possible or is there a cleaner way?

 

Thanks for your time.
