I'm trying to run another product's .msi install during mine, by calling msiexec.exe on it's installation file.  But, since my product is an .msi install running another .msi, when the child install launches I get an error 1500, "Another install is running".  Um..how can you launch a nested install then?

Confused!   I thought that was the whole point of  the "Launch another .msi" Custom action!!!!

Launching another msi file through custom action is only allowed in the User Interface sequence.

Check out this topic: "CA launching other .msi package (MSDE2000) " in this forum for more info.

Thanks so much, Kelly!  I am on the critical path and appreciate your response so quickly!  I put the CA into the User Interface sequence and now the install runs fine!!  

Thanks again for the help!!
