You can do this with a launcher program, but not with another MSI setup.
The kind of thing you need is a program that calls MsiInstallProduct for
each separate MSI file.

Hi Phil, I also have multiple program to setup, but i want to let my user
install them at one go. The thing is, my vb.net program would make use of a
COM ActiveX control. So how can I do it? Any difference from what you
mentioned?

The original poster has a bunch of MSI filles that need installing. It looks
like you've just got a bunch of code files that need putting in a single
setup project.
