Chaining the MSI Installers

Hi,
Actually i am working on bundling the MSI installers and was successful too(all thanks to advanced installer :idea: ) but there is one issue i am facing right now.
My requirement is to install the MSI based on the custom selection.
For ex- I have 5 MSI(A,B,C,D,E) included in my package and i have created a custom dialog for selecting user type-
1. Client
2. User

For Client i want to install - A,B,C
For User i want to install - D,E

Is there any way to do that???
Either listbox will be populated from the available MSI or we can pre-define which MSI to install in either options.

If something else is required,let me know
Thanks.

Re: Chaining the MSI Installers

Hi and welcome to Advanced Installer forums.

In order to set a condition for a feature based on a dialog selection, you can go in the "Organization" page, select a feature and write the appropriate condition in the "Installation Behavior" fields.

For example, you can set a property to a different value when either the "Client" or "User" options are selected, then use that property as a condition for your features.

Let me know if this helped, otherwise give me more details about your scenario.
