How to package third party tools in a MSI using msitools?

622 Views Asked by At

My primary development platform is OSX. However from time to time I have to deploy some applications to some window machines.

The bespoke application has some dependency on python runtime and python win32 package. I want to make these installation as easy as possible.

That's why I am looking into using msitools from GNOME

My goal is to be able to include and trigger the installation of various windows application dependency via a single custom MSI file.

However I have checked the documentations here https://wiki.gnome.org/msitools/HowTo/CreateMSI and here https://www.firegiant.com/wix/tutorial/. I don't see how I can achieve my goal.

My question:

What xml markup can let me include and trigger an installation of third party components such as python installer as part of the overall installation process?
