Without deeper knowign the issue: Are you trying to run an MSI from another one ? If yes: Not recommended! The only workaround is to abuse the InstallUI sequence for such an approach. This fails e.g. if user runs installer without UI! A short fragment to illustrate such an approach:
<CustomAction Id="Install_MSI" Impersonate="yes" Execute="immediate" Directory="WindowsFolder" ExeCommand="msiexec.exe /i "c:\MyMSIpackage.msi" /qb" Return="ignore" /> <InstallUISequence> <Custom Action="Install_MSI" After="ProgressDlg">Not Installed</Custom> </InstallUISequence> But to emphasis it again. Not recommended by MSDN but to be honest I do a similat approach as well e.g. for deploying the VCRedists.
