Using Support Files in Custom action
Hi.
I am Using Install Shield Basic MSI Project Project.I read that using support files we can use files which are required only during installation.
I have a folder which has 4 exes and that exe's install 4 .msi files in silent mode using custom action.
i delete this folder after installation from Batch command.
How can i use Support Files to Install these 4 msi's silently.
i also did not found any option to add folder in support files.
Please any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Abhijeet.

that exe's install 4 .msi files in silent mode using custom action.You seem to be confusing terminology. Are you saying that the EXE extracts and executes a nested MSI, i.e. it runs an MSI which extracts and executes another MSI?
I appreciate that English is not your first language but I'm afraid that your description of the problem is unclear.

Sounds to me like you should extract the MSI files from the exe's, install these individually, and forget about the 4 exe's
Also it would be best to write some sort of script to install the 4 MSIs in order, and not use a fifth MSI with nested installs
Just my 2c
