I have successfully chained together installs using the “Run another program 
first” option:

Package>Properties>Advanced tab
Choose “Run another program first”
Choose the Package and Program
Choose “always run this program first”
Repeat so that you handle all of the pre-requisites

Keep in mind that you kind of work in reverse when chaining these:
Install the application: “Run another program first” Install dependency 4
Install dependency 4: “Run another program first” Install dependency 3
Install dependency 3: “Run another program first” Install dependency 2
Install dependency 2: “Run another program first” Install dependency 1


Example:
I used this to

1.       Uninstall old IM software

2.       Install new IM pre-reqs

3.       Install new IM software

Subject: [mssms] SCCM and Dependencies

Hello All

I have an application in SCCM that has some dependencies, this is no problem as 
I can set the dependencies as part of the application in SCCM

The problem comes as there are a couple more applications that I want to 
install after it as well. My question is can I set these in the same 
application as well.

For example.

Install dependency 1
Install dependency 2
Install dependency 3
Install dependency 4
Install the application
Install post configuration 1
Install post configuration 2.

All the dependencies and post configurations are setup as separate apps in SCCM

Hope you understand what I mean.

Many thanks
