i am trying to include a .msi file in my IS build project and launch the .msi file during the install process.
i came across a post talking about putting the .msi file into setup files/advanced files/disk1 then calling LaunchAppAndWait(SRCDIR^"msiname.msi,"",WAIT)
but this seems to not be a desireable solution and also doesnt seem to work for me.
i am using IS 6.31
Does anyone have any other suggestions or solutions?

.msi files are not executable by themselves. You must run
msiexec.exe /i msiname.msi
msiexec.exe /i msiname.msi

Oh, right. Good point Stefan. I'd forgotten about that as the MSIs I've recently used in my IS setups have been wrapped in EXEs, so I only deal with the MSI itself during the uninstall process.
I'll update the FAQ with that information then.
