Hi I have a simple problem..
I am deploying a component that relies on a 3rd party installation runtime (think Msoft Wse3 runtime or DirectX runtime). I want the installer to check that this pre-requisite is installed and if not execute the prereq instal file before my installation invokes I have added the installation file as a component under my source directory, and created a feature for it. Obviously this just copies the file onto the system. What i cannot figure out is how to run the installation without physically installing it.. I thought about creating a custom action that just ran msiexec on the msi? But assumed there must be a cleaner way for installing a prebuilt msi as a prerequisite. Any help appreciated.
