I have a (maybe) stupid newby question, but, however, i really don't get it myselve

I want to pack the WindowsInstaller 3.1 and the DotNet FX 3.5SP1 with my application, and Acrobat Reader too.
I managed to find out if .net and Installer 3.1 are installed. But: I don't want to "pack" these in my Setup. It seems to be very "slow" while decompressing them. What I want is to put them in the same directory as the Setup.exe, maybe a CD or a memorystick.
But then I don't know how to call them.

I tried this: ExecWait "${EXECDIR}\dotnetfx35.exe /qbf /norestart" $1
and hoped that ${EXECDIR} is the location of the Setup. However, it didn't work.

What is the recommanded way to pack these things with msis? Thank you for your answers

Regards, Holger

try $EXEDIR instead of ${EXECDIR}!

otherwise, if you wanted to include the files in your setup, you could use ReserveFile instead of the File command - for faster decompression.
