[wix-users] Simple UI to install on demand Packages.

[Tyler Gustafson]

I don't think you can run an msi from within another msi. You want to look at creating a bootstrapper.

Subject: [wix-users] Simple UI to install on demand Packages.


Hello, I need to create a simple installer that allows me to install chrome with a button.
I have a custom UI, when I click the button Chrome doesn't install.
It should be pretty simple, any help is appreciated.

Thank you.
