MSI installation how to combine 2 in 1

[vin]

Hi,


I have two spearate solutions that needs to be deployed to one machine. One solution is WEB Service and the other is NT Service. It is required, that I create one installation package for both solutions. What is the best way to deal with that issue. I use the integrated MSI deployment functionality of the Visual Studio .NET.

Thanks

The approach I took is to create a merge modul for the NT service and then to add it to the setup project of the Web Service.

How about incorporating someone else's MSI (I only have the msi, no source, no .sln, etc) into ours? Is this possible through the use of merge modules?

I've attempted running it from an executable that is executed as a Custom Action, but no luck yet.
