There is no support of the running of .msi files in the options in the installation of a LabVIEW application. But we can file other ways to do it.

Because installation only support *.exe or *.bat file to run after in LabVIEW application’s installation, so we can work around it with one of following methods:

First one, just create a .bat file which make the .msi file to run.

Second one, create a .exe file with LabVIEW VI which runs the .msi file with systemexec.vi, and call this .exe in the application installation.

Anyone of these two methods will work!
