Hi,
I can call Oracle client installer(Disk1/Oracle/Setup.exe
through LaunchAppAndWait) from my product installater.The
LaunchAppWait gets path from SourceDir.

But if I am making media for web.The Oracle client
installed does not get launched.

Is there any way I can make oracle installer part of my
installer for installation from web?

Thanks,
Jevelson

Launching Oracle's setup.exe over the web is not an option. This is the
alternative I can suggest. Make the oracle install kit into a self
extracting executable, and host at the web site. Detect if the msi source
location is a URL. In the custom action, call the Windows api such as
URLDownloadToFile to dowanlod the exe locally, and launch the setup.exe from
there.
