I have been asked to create a single .MSI file which will install all the prerequisites for our applications.
This means installing among other things, versions 1.1 and 2.0 of the .NET framework.
I have been using WIX and can create an .MSI file successfully.
However, it turns out that the .NET frameworks although supplied as .EXE files, in fact contain .MSI files. And my master .MSI file can't invoke another as only one can run at a time.
Is what I'm trying to do possible?
Thanks

No. You could package everything into a single EXE file, but not into a single .msi file.
