Hello,

I'm not sure I fully understand your scenario. Can you please give us more details, maybe exemplify?

Best regards,

I have a Setup, let's call it Main-Installer.

The Main-Installer uses several Chain-Packages.
One of them is a Installer with a Web-Deploy-Package, let's call it Web-Installer.

In the Main-Installer i want to add some additinal files to the IIS-Directory.
But the Web-Deploy gets executed after the file add operation of the Main-installer so that all files are replaced after the Web-Deploy operation.

Hi,

If you don't want to perform a silent installation of the main installation package, then you can add the Web-Deploy-Package as a feature-based prerequisite. The feature-based prerequisites are launched right before the main installation when performing an installation with Full UI of the main installation package.

Since the feature-based prerequisites are installed before the main installation package, then you can add additional files from the main installation package.

You can also take a look on the Feature based prerequisites in quiet mode forum thread which may be useful to you.

Please let me know if that helped.

Best regards,
Dan

There is no way to control that the AddResources is executed after the Chained Package?

Hello,

No, I'm afraid it is not.
If you have other questions, please let me know.
