Hi,
Is there a way to call another MSI setup within the MSI.
I want to have a MSI setup that will call multiple MSI based on user's input.
Is it possible?
Please advice.
Thank you.
thanks,
angp

In theory it's possible, but not recommended. You could call msiexec as a ustom action in the UI sequence. You should not use nested install custom actions.

It is generally much better to write your own setup.exe bootstrapper that can then do the installation of the different MSI files in sequence.
Nested install custom actions is perhaps the worst designed part of MSI. It causes a massive coctail of problems such as patching problems, upgrade problems, problems running admin installs etc...
