Installing Windows Installer interupts the main installation

If required, my installer needs to install Windows Installer v2.0.2600 before continuing with the rest of the installation. I have achieved this by adding instmsia.exe and instmsiw.exe as prerequisites. However, after the Windows Installer is installed there is an automatic reboot and then nothing else happens - i.e. the remainder of the install doesn't continue.

Previously I used Microsoft's Visual Installer to create my installer, and by setting the build type to "Installer with Windows Installer Loader" it was able to install Windows Installer, reboot, and then continue with the install.

Perhaps this is just functionality that isn't implemented in Advanced Installer, but I wondered if there is a way to get the install to automatically continue.

Thanks!

Hi,

This feature is not yet supported by Advanced Installer, but we will implement it in a future version.
