I prepare an installer (Basic MSI with installshield 2013) that needs to install, if not already installed, a third party application as a chained package.
My own installer has to copy one of its files in a directory whom location is defined in a registry entry created by the chained package.
I plan to use a deferred CA to copy this file, but I don’t know how to get the value of the registry entry when my installer will need to run the chained package. In fact I am not sure that an immediate CA is able to access a registry entry installed via a chained package…
In other words, my problem comes from a lack of knowledge about the accurate execution sequence of CA in a transaction embedding a chained package.
