Hi thamaraikannan,

Based on my understanding, user can run setup1.exe to first install setup1.exe
and then install setup2.exe. On the other hand, user can run setup2.exe to first
install setup2.exe and setup1.exe. Hence, I think your concern is how to install
the two setup packages in one installation, setup order is not the problem. If I
have any misunderstanding, please let me know.

For this issue, you can delete the .exe files and use your own installer to
invoke the .msi setup packages. The following are the links which relate to this
scenario. Please check them at your convenience.

Hi thamaraikannan,

 As far I understand the issue you want to run setup through your coding or
Wizard. Well, in case of coding you have to use System.Diagnostics.Process to
run your setup and you can run those 2 set up consecutively as you wish.

But I didn't understand in which setup you will run these. If you want that in
your web application you will run this setup then it's not gonna be possible.

Thanks

Hi Benson  ,

Thanks for your reply and really the links which you gave was good

But my requirement was not met

If the user mistakenly run setup2 it should check whether setup1 installed in
the system or not .

 if not, setup1 have to install first and then setup2

If the requirement is not clear, please let me know

kindly seek your valuable inputs at the earliest 

 Best Regards,

 Thamaraikannan
