I want to see if I can combine a couple of setup routines into my MSI file. I have an Access Database that I want to deploy and it needs its runtime engine and a database client. Both clients the client and the runtime have configurable options that I have setup to install fully silently when the Setup.exe runs.
How do I get my AI to include the full directories of the client software and the runtime software and also run their Setup.exe files.
One last thing. I want to deploy this MSI via MS Group Policies so the two setup.exe's need to run and complete before AI finishes the install.
I have tried to add the client and runtime files to the install by having AI extract the files to a Temp Directory and then run a Custom Action calling the TempFolder\Setup.exe, however the installer runs, then fire up the setup.exe after the installer has finished. I have tried to play around with the Execution Properties and the Execution Options however the best I have been able to do is to get the setup.exe files to run during the install, but the install still finishes before the setup.exe files do.

Hi Jordan,
If your custom action is launched too late, you may try the Execution Option: "Immediate Execution" (instead of "Deferred", which I suppose you are using now).
If your installation completes before the setup.exe finishes, you may try to use the Execution Property: "Synchronous Execution, ignore/check return code."
Let me know if it works.
