I want to distribute 2.0 SP1 on XP, I launch it from InstallShield.
However, If i lauch setup.exe from my setup i
get an error saying another setup is running.I have another setup
which does the same but installs 2.0, When i looked at the setup.exe
used in the 2.0 distributable its discription says "external
Installer".
But when i extracted SP1, its setup.exe is not similar. Any pointers?

You can't run any part of this update from within an MSI file as a custom
action. The .NET FW install is MSI based, so you can't run an MSI update
patch from within your MSI install as a custom action. This is why many (if
not all) prerequisites are installed by a bootstrapper before the MSI
install starts.

I don't run it as a custom action, i have added button in a UI which
calls "LaunchApp" method to launch the setup.

I downloaded SP1 exe, extracted it. And using it for launching from
installer. Anything u think im missing?

If this is happening inside the MSI then it will be a custom action,
assuming the button in the UI is beiong called from the MSI install.
LaunchApp is one of those supplied InstallShield functions, yes? Is "the
UI" the UI in the MSI ?
