nested installation

I have 2 msi packages that I need to install either simultaneously or
one after the other (in any order). How can I do that in a single
package. I also need to install one of the msi in "silent" mode as in
minimum or NO user interaction. I have been trying with Windows
Installer and it does not work for me. It can launch the first
application, but for the second one, I do not know how to point to the
right directory on target machine for launching msi.

Thanks for your help in advance,
Sonali

You'll have to write a program to install first one, then the other. You
can't run an MSI setup while another is in progress. That's one of the
reasons why, for example, prerequisites are installed separately - some are
MSI-based.
