[wix-users] 2 Msi in one exe

Since there exe based installation packages, they are not standardized on how to show or hide them. My bet is they will be visible by default, and you would need to contact the author of the exe to determine if there is a means of hiding them (IE, you're going to see 3 entries by default).

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.
Actually we have to pack two exe files inside main exe file(as per requirement). Can we make these *two exe entries* Visible?
When i searched on documentation ExePackage, it doesnt support @Visible tag. If there is any solution for this, please let me know.
