Hi,
I have created a InstallScript MSI Project in which i'm trying to Launch few executable files during setup installation, the executable name is Sql-connect.exe and Sql-win32.exe, but these two files are overlapping each other while executing, i'm not able to Launch these two executables one after the other even after using the command "LaunchAppAndWait", Please help me on this.. please tel me how to execute these two executables one after the other.

Thanks & Regards,
Syed Tausif Akram.

Did you set the LAAW options properly?
Please contact the manufacturer of the two executables to find out which command line options they support and if maybe they are stubs which launch some other program (and immediately terminate).

In general, to install an msi file, you run msiexec.exe (command line options are documented in help). You might experience problems however when trying to run two msi setup at the same time (and your main setup is a msi setup, too)
