I'm new to the forum, so I hope I'm in the right place.

I want to create an install that runs another install. I am stuck.
On the Install Options page I cliked the Install Container check box, then in the pre-post Actions I tried to add a locate install, but to no avail.

What am I doing wrong?

You tend to add the other install (it has to be a 1 file exe) as a 'Temporary file', then add a 'Pre-Post action' of 'Run' either before or after install and set its program to:

<TempInstall>NameOfInstall.exe

In 'Options', in the 'Temporary Files' tab, I entered C:\SetupFolder\Setup.exe

In the 'Pre-Post Actions' tab, I entered a 'Before Install' 'Run' action. In the 'To Run' text box I entered <TempInstall>Setup.exe

When I launch the Spoon Installer I get a small message box saying it is "Installing 0 of 0" and nothing really happens.

The Setup.exe is a good file as it will launch on its own.

Rename your Setup to anything else (setup1 for example), setup is a bad name.
