How to wrap two MSI files
I have two MSI files. I need to deploy through SCCM. I need to wrap these two MSI files to using a single EXE file. When I double click on exe file it should install these MSI one after the other.
I am using Wise Package Studio. Please help.

Windows installer 4.5 can do multiple package installs

You can try it on Windows Installer 5. I use to nested msi on InstallShiel or Orca, i never did it on Wise.
First, use custom action type 23.
Sequenced, after InstallInitialize
And you can set the following properties
- on install : ALLUSERS=1 ADDLOCAL=ALL
- on uninstall : ALLUSERS=1 REMOVE=ALL
I hope this help you

Why? Create a command file to execute the relevant command line and use that as the install instruction for the package.

Well, make your mind up! Is SCCM deploying or are you?

SCCM deploys these MSI files.. but I need an exe to give to my junior technicians so that they can just double click the exe and install 2 msi 's one by one. - Hariharan 12 years ago
Use a wise script. Keep the two msi files in a single folder & call the msi from that location. script below :
item: Execute Program
Pathname=%SYS32%\msiexec
Command Line=/i %INST%\1.msi /l*v <path of log file> /qn
end
item: Execute Program
Pathname=%SYS32%\msiexec
Command Line=/i %INST%\2.msi /l*v <path of log file> /qn
end
