Hello, we have a few prerequisites that are installed as Feature Based in our main installer. These come from a vendor whose software is an important part of ours. They provide frequent updates (monthly) to their libraries and we want to distribute these updates through our Auto-Updater configuration and Silent updates process.
I've created a patch to go for example from version 2.4.1 of our application to 2.4.2, the only difference being that we need to execute their update(s). Which could be one or more MSIs that they provide. (and I increment our internal version number primarily so that I can detect if the patch worked)
But when I deploy my 2.4.2 patch, our application is updated - I can see the new internal version displayed - but the prereq MSIs are not run.
What is the best way to do this? Really we don't even NEED to update our application, I would just like to deploy their MSI files automatically and silently.
