Specify your packages separately. At the first pass the system will install those which can be installed (ie which do not require other packages). At the second pass (next reboot) it will install the remaining ones.

Hi,

I am trying to install an application through group policy which consists of
3 seperate MSI files. The problem is that one of the MSI files requires
the other 2 MSI files to be installed first before it can install.

Is there a way to always install the other 2 apps first? I have tried
making the last app UPGRADE over the top of the other apps but all this
does is try to install the final app straight away without installing the
first app.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Justin

Thanks for the reply. It works fine as you have suggested. Just requires a couple of reboots sometimes..
