I am building the installer for and in-house developed application. This application has a dependancy of another in-house application. At this time I am trying to determine my best method for insureing this dependancy is installed. Currently I have an MSI for the dependancy. What is my best option MSI Chain, build a Merge Module or build a Prerequisite? Both applications need IE 5.5 or higher and the .NET Framework 1.1 (both are in the respecitve MSI's already). Thank you in advance.

And this install your developing is being done on InstallShield X? If so, are you using InstallScript or the Windows Installer functionality?

I am using the Basic MSI, not an InstallScript project.

Merge Module would require that you convert your MSI to MSM, so it can't include features etc. A prerequisite would probably be easier.
