[wix-users] Bootstrap, and second package not getting called

A) Is your MSI already installed on the machine in question?  If so, it won't get invoked a second time if this is the first time the bundle is being installed. (The bundle log will tell you the plan, and tell you what happened.
B) No need to use After on your MsiPackage, just order the chain and you'll be fine.
C) DisplayInternalUI is a kludge, I would highly advise going away from it if at all possible.

Please check silent installation switch for owc11.exe and pass that in installcommand. This might solve your problem 


Thanks

Hi,
OK - I'm confused (easy thing to do) - I am attempting to setup my first bootstrap, and the FIRST item in the bootstrap is getting called, but I can't get the second Item to call - my main installer!!


Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong (BTW, if I run the MSI alone, works fine) - obviously I've obfuscated a few items

                  />
                           </Chain>
              </Bundle>
</Wix>
