Nested Installation...Pls help..

Hi
I am installing Rational Robot(msi).While installing this msi ,I get a message box prompting me to run ISScript.msi prior to this installation.
ISScript is available as isscript1050.msi

So i tried the following

In CustomAction table add

Actions | Type| Source | Target |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Install_ISScript | 23 | isscript1050.msi | |
UnInstall_ISScript | 23 | isscript1050.msi | REMOVE="ALL" |

in InstallExecuteSequence table add

Actions | Condition | Sequence |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Install_ISScript | Not Installed | 6700 |
UnInstall_ISScript | REMOVE="ALL" | 1402 |

BUT STILL I AM GETTING THE SAME MESSAGE BOX .
Want to know if the rows added r incorrect..

Pls help..

Is this a repackaged MSI or vendor's? If the latter then usually when there is a'ISScript' file this means ther is also a setup.exe wrapper that calls the main MSI file. IF that is the case just use the setup.exe and use the /v option to send MSI commands to the installation.

To perform an unattended installation using a Basic MSI installer, you provide the /s /v"..." switches, where ... represents any additional switches you want to pass down to msiexec. These should include the /qb (or /qn) switch to make the installation non-interactive, so a minimal invocation would be: setup.exe /s /v"/qb"

Hope that helps..
