Can this be done?

I need to create a package that basically runs a batch file, then calls two other MSI packages. Is this possible, I do not need to copy (permanently) any files to the PC and do not want a group added nor an uninstall option as it is not really a package. Is it possible to pass the Installs of the other products so that they show in add/remove programs?

Thanks so much.

Sure, you can do this easily, using InstallAware as a "shell program" which doesn't really install anything itself, but runs the child setups. With the MSI files, you will even be able to capture the native progress of the child setup, and display it natively in your own InstallAware "shell wrapper", and thus improve the end-user experience.

Look at:
Display Dialog (for your progress dialog)
(Un)Install MSI Setup (for running the MSI setups)
Run Program, Run Program As (for running an EXE setup)

Ok, thanks.
