Run .exe after extraction

Here is the situation. I'm packaging up an Oracle 10g client into an installer. Once it extracts to the target directory I'm trying to navigate to a subfolder and start the Oracle Universal Installer. I have searched and not been able to get a solid answer on how to acomplish this. Any advice would be appreciated. Here is a code snip of what it looks like right now



Section "Oracle 10g Client" SEC01

  File "10g_Client.exe"

  ExecWait "$INSTDIR\10g_Client.exe"

  ExecWait "$INSTDIR\C:\10g_Client\install\setup.exe"

SectionEnd
QOAL#
ExecWait "$INSTDIR\C:\10g_Client\install\setup.exe"
That would point to something like:
C:\blah\farming\C:\10g_Client\install\setup.exe
Which isn't going to be a valid location.

If the 'install' dir is a sub dir of $INSTDIR (aka where 10g_Client.exe is too) then just do:
ExecWait "$INSTDIR\install\setup.exe"
