I'd like to execute an external setup application after or before my deployment project that i created in vs.net. The exe is another MSI package for some microsoft files that need to be installed to run my main vb.net project.
This is what I tried in the Custom Actions editor of my deployment project:
I tried adding a "Custom Action" in the "Custom Actions Editor" of the deployment project putting it in both the Commit folder and tried the Install folder with same results.
Upon starting the setup of the built deployment project, the program performs as intended, however, I can't run the exe because my setup if currently running and I get the message "Another program is being installed. Please wait until that installation is complete, and then try installing this software again." Is there anyway to execute the program after my intallation is done so that I can install the support files?
