Help choose Decision.
I write installation with same steps:
in "Installation UI section" user choose any parameters to configre software (choose database server, connect to server etc)
in "Installation Execute section" - instllation setup system. copy files to users drive, connect to chosen database server and create database etc. with used users settings)

Error was corrupt when in "Installation UI section" I call function, whose code depends on MDAC version. I think if I call this function after all instllation execute action (when all merge modules was installation) - all Ok.
How I do installation MergeModule before Instllation UI (user interface dialog same InstallWelcome, etc.) or ask me how I make this problem any different path. (preferably leave setup software on "Installation UI section")

Thank all.

You should check out InstallShield X. It has support for SetupPrequisites. this means that u can get rid of the nested installations and exe custom actions to launch installations. X even sports a Setup Prerequisite editor which lets you condition the launch based on certain conditions.

visit http://www.installshield.com/x. Do ur best to push X through all the red tape. Its simply amazing.

If you do not plan to upgrade to X, call the mdac28 setup manually as a nested custom action from the UI Sequence.
