Nested MSi -

An mst calling another MSI (nested). Everything works fine. It is installed from the network (s drive). When disconnected S drive and then try to uninstall, it gives error 1706. Have disabled the ResolveSource for Uninstall. Still doesn't help. The child MSi resides on the server and that's causing the problem. Whats the best way of doing this.

Hi,

Nested Installation it's not recommended. My suggestion is to use prerequisites if your application depends on other in order to run.

Moreover the Nested Installation was deprecated by Microsoft.

Regards,
Gigi
