Hi,

I have three installers (MSIs), which I want to run one after the other. I have heard of Windows Installer Bootstrapper which can be used.

I tried making the settings.ini file as under:
[Bootstrap]
MsiPath=Prerequisites\DOORSTD Integration PreRequisites.msi
MsiPath=WebService\IWS Installer.msi
MsiPath=WSAdmin\WSAdmin Installer.msi
ProductName=DOORS TD Integration
MdacVersion=2.71
BootstrapFx=true
FxInstallerPath=dotnetfx
LanguageID=1033
BootstrapMdac=false

But this only installs the first MSI only. is there any thing which needs to be changed in this settings.ini file which will automatically start the second installer after the first one is complete, and similarly, start the third installer after the second one is complete?

I don't know of any mootstrapper that supports chaing of MSIs out of the box. OYu may need to adjust the source code of the bootstrapper.
