Hello, I would like to ask on something. I have Installers A and B. The problem is, that the B installer depends on files from Installer A. So I want to run installer B from installer A. The problem is, that it can be done only from UserInterface Sequence - when files from A Installation are not installed yet and when I move it into Execute sequence it ends with error ("Another installation is running, please finish .. " ) Please, how to install installation B in / after Execute sequence of installer A ? Than you very much

if they are both your Installprojects you may want to consider setting installer A as prerequiste of installer B

if that can't be done you might want to try to create a custom action (use the CA wizard) with "install another .msi package" and "installed with the product" and put it in the execute sequence after InstallFinalize but before DLLWrapCleanup.

Have you considered taking the files common to both and putting them in a merge module that both A and B can then consume?

If that is not a possiblility, you can make A a prerequisite for B. Or, you could check for the presence of A (or of one of required files) and set a launch condition to abort B if A is not installed.
