Sounds suspiciously like Concurrent Installations -> http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa368010.aspx which even Microsoft warn against doing -> http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb204770.aspx#concurrent_installs
As Jon says, use a bootstrapper to chain your MSIs not an MSI.

Bccin'g devs and adding users. To answer your question with the best of my knowledge on the subject it sounds like you are wanting to create a bootstrapper for multiple MSIs that can be deployed as a single install package. Is that correct? If so, that is available in the 3.6 version which is still in beta. Jon W.
