I've tried using the action setting and then tried
duplicating its action in the VBA edit screen and I've
tried recording a macro as well as looking at a VB manual
and trying to use the Shell Command to launch the
installers.

In all cases I seem to end up with three subroutines and
only the first will execute.

At some point in the future the Install Shield will be
redone to bring everything under one executable, but that
future is not soon enough for my needs(typical salesman).

I don't have the knowledge to launch one application from
the preceding one, it would have to be done by our
development team and they are swamped at the moment.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
