How to create Installer containing multiple projects?

Postby Shmulik28 » Sun Jan 28, 2007 10:38 am

My application is composed of two parts: (1) A windows service that needs to be installed by a user with administrative privileges, and (2) a windows application that should be "configured" to allow a "standard user" the ability to receive and run patches (.msp updates). (Vista environment)

How can I create an installer that will allow the admin person to install both the windows service and the user application from a single installation package? Can I "chain" separate installers and have them automatically run one after the other?

Thanks!

You can just build a single install that contains both features, and then branch at runtime using MSIcode commands like If.
