[wix-users] Installing the JRE EXE silently through my own MSI fails

Mon May 22 22:45:03 PDT 2017

You can use Oracle's MSI installer:http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/msiinstallerfaq-2967694.html

It is a commercial feature though

There is only one way I know of how to get around the _MSIMutex and it's not pretty and not reccomended. An immeadiate custom action running in the UI sequence could do a CreateProcess and launch the other MSI However this means you'd never be able to install your MSI silently because the UI sequence must run for this to work. 

You've been given the only possible options. Create a burn bootstrapper to bundle the EXE/MSI and your MSI together or detail to the SCCM team that they need to chain these apps together. I work for a certain $187B company that has hundreds of thousands of SCCM clients and this is standard procedure for us.

Yes but that is not an option since this is not within the scope of the 
development team. Is there not a way to run these MSIs the way I have used 
them? They do work when I have just the VC redistributables. Its when I add 
the JRE that I run into this issue.
