I am trying to create an installer and it will install another *.msi.
But it is failure, because can't install at the same time.
If it is possible to pause main installer and install another msi??
You can do it by creating a bootstrapper package. check this post on how to create a bootstrapper package.
Perhaps you have a custom action to install something else, and that something else is an MSI-based setup, and that nearly always won't work (without going into gory details) or is a really bad idea.

I'm trying to just build webkit on windows. As usual I started with webkit site and trying to get developer tools setup. I'm struck basically at the cygwin Installation itself.
The cygwin-downloader gets all the packages and runs the setup normally.
As per the installation instructions, I selected the Install from Local Directory Option (cygwin install and source package directories are different).
There was some initial turbulance in finding the packages, somehow i could let it find the packages. The screen looks like this now.
I selected the packages (all) and then proceeded with next. It just ran very fast and exited saying nothing needs to be installed. It looked like this.
After I ran the cygwin shorcut from the desktop its shouting something is missing.
I don't understand what am I missing here. Also at some link it says we need a port to build webkit. If thats the case, how does anyone port webkit to their applications without building the webkit alone?
I know this is not a programming question. but this will help most of the people who are taking baby steps in understanding and build WebKit. Thanks!
According to this, it's seems a cygwin-downloader's bug.
However, there is a workaround...
Just copy {cygwin-downloader}\setup.ini file to a {cygwin-downloader}\x86\ directory. Then reopen setup.exe. It will show you a package list without turbulence. You don't need to click all from the package list. Just click Next.
I've been having a problem with including Shoes in a Shoes app for Windows. The packager tool works perfectly when I don't ask to include Shoes in the app: I get an .exe that, if launched on a Shoes-less computer, downloads Shoes and then runs as expected.
However, when I ask it to include Shoes, the packager seems to get stuck on something from the get-go. At least, in some other cases, the packager does make an executable, even if it didn't contain Shoes. Here, it just freezes.
I even tried the solution proposed here, but I couldn't manage building shoes. After cloning the rubyinstaller repository and downloading the requisite elements, the rake command aborts prematurely.
Installer may be a corrupted one
or may contains some missing files.
So,its better to download another and try again.
May be installer itself is buggy. Try other packaging software. The great one for Windows is NSIS here.
It has a simple scripting which will help you to make your installer more adaptive.
And you could search an old version of this product.
Is someone aware of the steps that are necessary for installing node module for SQLite3?
Cannot see any posts/threads that clearly tell the steps.
I also need to do this without installing Visual Studio etc.
and old post, but still relevant. The sqlite3 module relies on the node-gyp module, which on windows is a pain to install. Its readme recently got updated to explain the steps required to make this work, see https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-gyp/blob/master/README.md
If I have a package installed, that has built-in documentation, and I want to install an updated version of the same package, is it safe just to erase the old version folder?
Last time I tried, I got some error messages on the documentation, but never understood if the problem came from this fact. Is there an “uninstall package” procedure?
Thank you,
Pedro
If the package has an installer, you should see if it has a corresponding uninstall mode. Otherwise, simple deletion should be safe.
If you do run into any errors, feel free to update your question.
I am using a CAD application which will have monthly updates. For updating, we need to uninstall the current version and install new version which will come with the new patch.
Can we do that?
I would take a look at using a proper installer to do the job: you can use something free like NSIS to help you build something to meet your needs. It will take a little up-front work but the results will be far more professional and robust that a batch file.
