Running MSI file from within the Windows SET UP File of VB.NET

Hi all

We developed Windows Applications using VB.NET. There is small separate small msi file also. We created Setup of the windows application which has components of .NET Framework, Crystal Reports run time for .NET and our windows applications.

The set up gets installed properly and shortcut is created on the Desktop as desired.

Running of the small msi file separately after the setup is run is not a problem.

Problem
We wish to avoid this step of running separate small msi file after the initial set up is run. That makes it a two step operation and we wish to make it single step operation.

So we wish to write some coding in order to run the small msi file from within the SETUP (created by windows setup project) in VB.NET
