embedding installer help

[moose517]

i have read throug the example on embedding installers in NSIS but i can't get the directx runtime to work correctly. I have all the files needed for it in a folder called redist and the setup file is in that folder I want to install it silently as well without user interference. Here is what i have maybe someone could suggest something to get it to run right, i see what the installer pops up and then goes away real quick before the user has the chance to install in a non silent way but i want it done silently if possible. And also the shortcut to the start menu will not delete either with this. Thanks for you help.

# define name of installer
outFile "FIAR Setup.exe"

# define installation directory

# set the installation directory as the destionation for the following actions
setOutPath $INSTDIR

# create the uninstaller
writeUninstaller "$INSTDIR\uninstall.exe"

# install dx runtime before installing game files
file "Redist\dxsetup.exe"
file "Redist\dsetup.dll"
ExecWait "$INSTDIR\dxsetup.exe /silent"

# write the files out to the install directory
file "Four In A Row.exe"
