Scripting

I do not know about wise script, but there are a couple things you can do outside of wise script.

1. You can find the CustomAction (if it is a CA) that spawns the process in the MSI and using a MST file you can remove it from the InstallExecuteSequence (or UI) Table.

2. Create your own CustomAction that calls a vbs script stored in a binary table. Then schedule this in the InstallExecuteSequence Table right after InstallFinalize (or the CA that starts the process). You could also make this an MST file.

Sample Script
=================

Function EndProcess()
Dim ProcessName
Dim colResults, objProcess, objWMI, strWQL

ProcessName="x"

Set objWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:Root/CIMv2")
strWQL = "SELECT * FROM Win32_Process WHERE Name = '" & ProcessName & "'"
Set colResults = objWMI.ExecQuery(strWQL)
For Each objProcess In colResults
objProcess.Terminate
Next
End Function
=================

Hope that helps [:D]

This is paired down from a larger script. You may need to tweak it a bit for variable names.

Rem Purpose: Chain two MSI installations together
The reg key below is present while an MSI is running
Get Registry Key SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\InProgress place in Variable INPROGRESS
Rem Set default to install the first msi
Set Variable INSTALLMSIONE to Yes
Rem Set variables for both msi files
Rem Change to appropriate folder on the P:\ drive and .msi filename
Set Variable MSIONE to Package Source Director\MSI Name.msi
Set Variable MSITWO to Package Source Director\MSI Name.msi

If INSTALLMSIONE Equals "Yes" then
Rem /QB- installs Quietly with Basic UI, no prompts displayed
Execute %SYS%\msiexec.exe /I "%PkgSrc%\%MSIONE%" /QB- (Wait)
End

Rem This registry key is only present while an MSI is running
While INPROGRESS Not Equal "" loop
Get Registry Key SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\InProgress place in Variable INPROGRESS
End

Rem /QB- installs Quietly with Basic UI, no prompts displayed
Execute %SYS%\msiexec.exe /I "%PKGSRC%\%MSITWO%" /QB-
