Hi
Currently I've been using a fairly old version of Installshield to install a suite of applications.
I have a 'Base' Installshield setup that installs some common files etc. and then calls several other Installshield setups in turn to install each seperate application. The user can select which applications they wish to install.
In installshield this is done using the DoInstall function.
Does anyone know if anything similar exists in InstallAware?
or do I need to rethink my method of installing my applications
Thanks in advance
Can one InstallAware setup call another InstallAware setup?

You can use either the "Run Program" or (Un)Install MSI command.
Really straightforward, just be mindful of the location of the command in relative position to the "Install File/Directory" commands in the MSICode section.
What's really nice about the IA IDE is you can nest MSI after MSI and not have to worry about them stepping on each other.
