Hello, I need to install 2 msi's at the same time but having trouble. I
built one MSI using Wix2.0. I bundled another MSI (built by someone else)
within mine using the standard 'File' element. This gets installed and
copied like any other file. Problem is when I go to execute it at the end.
Windows Installer seems to have a problem running 2 msi's at the same time
(in my case).
I've had a statement like so in my WXS file:
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action='MyExtraInstall' After='InstallFinalize' />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
The MSI I built using wix runs fine, however this extra mis doesn't get
installed. I turned on logging with misexec and found the following:
Action start 21:59:43: MyExtraInstall.
MSI (s) (D4:84) [21:59:50:510]: Running as a service.
MSI (s) (D4:30) [21:59:50:526]: Message context already initialized,
returning ERROR_INSTALL_ALREADY_RUNNING
Action ended 21:59:50: MyExtraInstall. Return value 1.
Action ended 21:59:50: INSTALL. Return value 1.
Since my MSI is already running, it errors out running an extra that I'm
calling Custom Action. Seems to have a problem with my MSI executing
another installer. How can I get my MSI to do this?
Thanks.
