Chained prerequisites Question

Hello I have a question about chained

Basically

I have 2 MSI files

MAIN.msi and Optional.MSI
Each of them is 50 mb file.

I found that cool option to install MSI after main installed with chained option.

But also i would like to add this Optional.MSI inside installation folder of MAIN.msi

Is there any option that chained somehow can refer to file inside resources ( Files and folders) added to main.msi ? :P

Basically when i add MAIN to files and folders and add to chained my installation is 150 mb so im sure that inside that MSI i have 2x OPTIONS.msi file is there any option to add only one OPTIONS.msi file and those one Options.msi file refer to chained and files and folders ?

Best regards

Re: Chained prerequisites Question

Hello Piotr and welcome to our forums,

I'm afraid that it is not possible, as the packages added in the "Prerequisites" page will be embedded in your main package, at build time. :)

Please let me know if you have any other questions and I will gladly assist.

Best regards,
