Hi all,

I am trying to build a custom setup.exe in order to launch multiple MSIs in a sequence.

For that, I am using the Platform SDK's sample for setup.exe.

For those who have done this before, should I stick with setup.exe's MsiApplyPatch and MsiInstallProduct ?

Is there a reason why my launcher should call the msi functions (and detect everything manually) instead of a call to msiexec with the appropriate parameters ?

Thank you,

Sophie

Waiting for completion might be a problem with msiexec because it runs as a system service.
