I have two applications that I want to be installed through one installer, whether that is a chained process or an all-in-one experience.
Currently, both applications are bundled into an MSIX package and then AppInstaller files are then created for each package. It is heavily desired that the two applications can independently update themselves as I want to be able to ship them independently as well as ship them in a combined installer, hence an AppInstaller file for each MSIX package.
How would I be able to do this or is this even possible to do?
If this isn't possible with the MSIX format, what sort of package format should I choose and how can I get them to both update themselves?
What I am able to do currently with Advanced Installer is build an msi installer that launches a .bat script that opens both AppInstaller files bundled in the msi installer, but I can't get it to work sequentially, meaning that I want one AppInstaller file to launch, the users installs it, then after that completes it opens the next AppInstaller file, the user installs it, then after both are installed the installation process ends.
Getting it to work sequentially like that is one thing, but if there's a way to silently install both applications targeting each AppInstaller file that would be even better as a user would then only see one installation window that handles it all.
Any help or advice on how to achieve this experience would be much appreciated - Thanks
