Inter Installer Push
Is it possible to make one installer push some info onto the stack of another installer?

What kind of data do you want to send and when?

I would like installer one to launch installer two which should push string(s) which are to be available after the ExecWait call in the first installer.

You can use the command line.

How do I get the second installer, which was launched by the first one, to send the text back using the command line and how do I read this info in the first installer?

Use command line parameters for the execution of the second installer and send information back using temporary registry keys or configuration files.

I was hoping to avoid using the registry and/or external files, but it looks like that will have to do.
