Hi, it is definitely not possible to call another MSI when an installation process is already running. Windows Installer takes care of that.
You can either reverse engineer the MSI as already suggested, which I would not do - you have to do so every time you get a new MSI from your provider. I would write a simple bootstrapper application that calls the MSIs in sequence. If the second installer fails, uninstallation of the first installation should be proposed to the user. Hope that helps, Dirk 2009/7/3 Sunkesula, Srivardhan <srivardhan.sunkes...@netapp.com>: > As far as I know, we cannot call an MSI inside an other MSI. > Anyone Correct me if I'm wrong. > > What we can do is generate wxs from the msi(reverse engineering), which we > need inside our msi. > Then generate an MSI including those wxs. > > Thanks &Regards, > Srivardhan. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: David Hernández Díez [mailto:dhd...@hotmail.com] > Sent: Friday, July 03, 2009 2:13 PM > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [WiX-users] Execute an MSI within an MSI > > > Hello, > > > > I am wondering if it is possible to execute an MSI within the MSI that I > create using Wix. > > > > I need to do it because a provider delivers me an MSI to install part of a > solution and I need to bundle everything within an MSI. > > > > Thanks, > > David > > _________________________________________________________________ > Windows Live(tm): Keep your life in sync.
