You may want to consider writing a bootstrapper that strings together your MSI and NSIS packages and installs them sequentially. You can write the bootstrapper in NSIS as well. Then all you need is a simple NSIS uninstall script that calls uninstall on your packages. This way you can avoid all the issues with Custom Actions that you will have by shoving everything into an MSI.

How is that a change to your requirement? I could tell you how to do this, but I don't feel like advocating what I consider to be a horrible design. This should get you the information you need, but I guarantee you'll be back on this mailing list in a short period of time trying to resolve issues or on a different forum trying to resolve deployment problems.

    Slight change to our requirement here as I can see why the other
    method would
    be unreliable.

    1 - Launch the MSI, this launches our NSIS installer which
    installs silently
    (I've already got this working).  This also installs our NSIS
    uninstall exe.
    2 - Running the MSI uninstaller should launch our NSIS uninstaller
    exe -
    this is the bit I'm stuck on
