Sure Usharani, I'm sure all list members here would be more than happy to take away our own jobs to show an incompetent offshore packager how to do his...just keep waiting!....LOL [:D]

There are only 2 solutions:
1) Chained installation
2) Nested msi

Usharani,
Nested install can be too complex to handle. Not recommended usually.
Which is the first MSI that you want to install? Is it some kind of redistributable setup/pre-req component?
You should try to create a program(using batch, vbscript, .wse or any other) which calls these MSI's one by one using msiexec.
You can then create a self-extracting executable by bundling the MSI's & the executable inside it.
OR
Just make use of the deployment tool.

wrap msi's with msi's then add more msi's and a wisescript then vbscript, should fix issue
Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,so that the conversation will remain readable.
