I am looking at this product for installing a program that we are developing. I need to create an MSI package that updates the VBRun time files if they are outdated. Then, the installer package would run an EXE which would continue the install. The VB6 EXE would then call other MSI packages to complete the installation of the program.
Does the free version allow for the running of EXE files? I haven't been able to find a definitive answer to this question.
Thanks!

Re: good questions
Natalie,
I posted this originally and found out the answer later. The free version only allows what you see in the main window. The $99 pro version allows for the running of EXE files.
However, you will not be able to kick off other MSI packages from within the VB application. That is a situation with Windows INstaller, not with Advanced Installer. Windows Installer only allows one instance of the installer to run at once. I verified this with a small test and it is the case.
Hope this helps!
