If you package your msi in a exe it is still an msi, so that won't work.
Nested install custom actions are deprecated.
The recommended way is to have a chainer exe that will run the two MSIs in a row.

Depending on the InstallShield version you have, you could use the Prerequiste functionality, or create your own setup.exe for the purpose. There are samples on the web.
To run a "InstallScrtipt MSI" (not a "Basic MSI") setup silently you need to create a .iss resonse file.
