I'm trying to make one big msi installer with multiple msi installers in it.

So, let's say I have main-msi, a-msi, b-msi.

main-msi(starts installing) main-msi(pause installing) a-msi(starts installing & finish installing) b-msi(starts installing & finish installing) main-msi(finish installing)

Is it possible to make nested msi installer using electron?

There is no way of doing this for at least two reasons:

  1. How do you propose pausing an MSI-based install? They just run, showing (usually) some UI choices and then just go. At the progress stage there isn't a way to say "wait for a while". It's a Windows process, msiexec.exe.

  2. MSI-based installs are transactional system-wide. Once the main part of the install has started no others can start. They'd see error 1618 "Another install is in progress".
