Hi, I had a similar situation, instead of products from multiple manufacturer, we had to extract out sub set of their installer. What I did was extract the required files and put them into the main WXS file and grouped the install as features. We also had a dependency on VC runtime, so that I included as a merge module. Do take into consideration how frequent your manufactures installer will be changed This could help decide which is the best method to go for. Hope this helps Prem
