Hi,

I appreciate that the subject heading might sound weird; but I'll try to
explain what I'm trying to do !
I'm using WiX 3.9 and burn etc and I have a Bootstrapper (MainSetup.exe)
that accepts an install folder (eg C:\MyApp\Installers) and then runs a msi
(passing in the folder) and then the msi installs some files into that
folder.  

Now one of the files that it installs, is actually another setup.exe
bootstrapper (OtherSetup.exe) and what I want is for the MainSetup.exe to
then run C:\MyApp\Installers\OtherSetup.exe.  I can't simply add another
ExePackage to MainSetup.exe, because at the time I build MainSetup.exe I
don't know where the OtherSetup.exe will be living on the users PC - hope
that makes sense ?!  

When OtherSetup.exe is run, it not only installs stuff, but it also
reads/writes files that live in the C:\MyApp\Installers i.e. relative to
where the installer is run from, hence why I need the OtherSetup.exe to be
run from that specific location.

Assuming this makes sense - is it possible ?

Thanks,

Chris.
