Hi...

How to install DirectX 9.0c together with my setup.exe ?

I am newbie in InstallShield X.

I have a directX setup files that I get from microsoft website
http://www.microsoft...&displaylang=en

The size is quite small only 309KB.
After installation of my product, I want to call the DirectX installer.
How to do this?
I tried to create custom action :
Right Click Custom Action --> New exe --> Stored in Binary Table
In the Executable File Name I point to the dxwebsetup90c.exe.

The in the InstallSequence - Execute I call the custom action as the last action, with condition Not Installed.

I build the release successfully. However when I run the setup.exe. In the last sequence it will pop up the Direct X installation browser and it get the error at the end of installation :
Error 1722(picture attached)
There is a problem with this window installer package ...

How to solve this error? Can I do silent installation instead of prompting the DirectX UI?

Any help is welcomed. sad.gif
Thank you

Make sure your custom action ignores the exit code from the DirectX setup.exe.
