What kind of code are you trying to run? You can definitely run an ExePackage (EXE file) at any point before, after, between installing any of your 3 MSI files, without writing a complete BA. It's true you cannot run the UI inside the MSI though.
However, and this is an ugly hack, but I have had some success doing this: I wrote an EXE RunCommand.exe that just runs commands, since it seems ExePackage is limited to files that are part of the bootstrapper. Then have that run something like "msiexec /i MyMSI.msi" with the parameters for installing and showing your MSI UI. -----Original Message----- From: John Robbins [mailto:j...@wintellect.com] Sent: Saturday, July 02, 2011 2:36 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.; sean.far...@seanfarrow.co.uk Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Buirn Queries Hi, Do run code you'll need to write a complete BA like the WiX36.exe. See src\Setup\UX for the code. As of today there's no way to run UI that's inside the MSI.

For Example, I am installing 3 msi's, I install msi 1, and then would like to run some code before installing msi 2-is this doable. Secondly, is there a way to show the msi ui instead of a burn user interface? Any help appreciated.
