I am working on a Wix Bootstrapper project to chain a ExePackage and a MsiPackage. The ExePackage element calls a vendor specific exe which will trigger a set of their msi's basically installing the vendor platform. After installing the platform an msi will be triggered which will install some additional plugins in this platform. Although i have an option to chain the msi's rather than calling the Vendor bootstrapper , I don't want to do this for couple of reasons , vendors bootstrapper takes care of some cleaning and also has some intelligence built into it when certain features don't install properly.
This is the configuration of the bundle.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<Chain>

  <!--This ExePackage will trigger a set of msis to install a platform on the users machine-->

  <ExePackage Id="VendorProductPlatformStarter"

              PerMachine="yes"

              SourceFile="VendorFolderVendorInstaller.exe"

              Compressed="no"

              Cache="no"

              InstallCommand="/s /Install"

              UninstallCommand="/s /Uninstall"

              Vital="yes">

  </ExePackage>                  



  <!--Rollback point-->

  <RollbackBoundary />



  <!--This MsiPackage will install some additional plugins after the platform has been installed. -->

  <MsiPackage Id="AdditionalPlugins" Visible="no" SourceFile="PluginsPlugins.msi" Vital="yes" />

</Chain>

</Bundle>

when i double click the installer , the installation fails.

From the log file I can see that it is executing the package from C:ProgramDataPackage Cache.. , I have set Cache="no" in my bundle but yet i see that the package is getting triggered from here.

Also one more question i have is do i need to mention the vendor's msi's as payloads in the bundle? If i do this then i get a message during that build the CAB file exceeds count ~65k so I had to resort to another method mentioned in a stackoverflow article where i created an exe which inturns triggers the vendors bootstrapper so that i can overcome the file limit issue but here too i hit the same problem as mentioned in the log file.

Any ideas/suggestions ?

Thanks.
