Thank you for the quick response Brett.
I'm rather ignorant when it comes to installer scripts (This is a new hat
for me) so I'd like to make sure I'm understanding you.
The other software is installed via MSI so when you say I need to bootstrap
into 1 setup.exe does that mean I should create my MSI file then create
another MSI file that's made up of both my software MSI and the OEM MSI?
Or are you stating that I should write a simple program named Setup.exe that
runs both MSI files in the background?

If the other installer does not use MSI then you could call it with a
custom action. If it is MSI then you will probably have to resort to
bootstrapping both it and your installer into one setup.exe routine.

*Subject:* [WiX-users] Calling external install script from your
installscript?
I have a piece of OEM software on which my software depends. I'd like to
bundle everything up into a single executable that will run the OEM install
script then finish my install script (or in the reverse order if necessary).
I'm new to Wix and there seems to be a lot there so I thought it may be
faster if I could get some input into how to do this. If I need to create a
dll to do the handywork for me that's ok too.
What's the best way to achieve this via wix?
Thanks
