You can, but not in a very nice way.  You can run pretty much anything as an 
arbitrary custom 
action.  I think there was a custom action for running another MSI file, but 
this might have been 
removed.  The problem is that only one installation can run the server-side 
script that actually 
makes changes to the system.  This means you have to schedule the second MSI 
outside this part of 
the installation, which in turn means you've lost all hope of performing a 
full, proper rollback if 
things go wrong.  This is why most stuff like this is done with a bootstrapper, 
so that you can 
check if each installation succeeded or not before proceeding with the next one.
