Linking several ism files or exe
I have three basic ism modules which I need to integrate.I need to know if there is a way by which we can trigger the exe files (created on building these ism files ) through a single exe such that I can make the installer process a chain process i.e after one of the exe has run the next exe will be automatically triggered and so on.If so how do I do it.
Launching MSI based installations from another MSI based installation, is generally discouraged. You can do it, however supporting on Vista, for example, the user could see 3 UAC prompts.
A better way is to author Merge Modules for each of your components, then integrate them into a single installer. However you need either the Professional or Premier Tiers of InstallShield to author these.
