Need help on below situation..
I have an application which has multiple prerequisites and there is sequence to install them. Application for each prerequisite has been created as an independent application. I have used these prereq as Dependencies under deployment type.
The application works fine when just one dependency is created to original application. If i add multiple pre req under dependency, it installs app with priority 1 only and doesn't install other dependent apps. Appenforce.log says "waiting for process to complete" and never finishes, timeout eventually.
Tried permutation and combination of using Deployment Types(.exe, .msi, scricpt) for this but did not get through.
All these apps works fine when deployed independently(one by one).
Some more details to explain scenario
I have App1 which has two pre-req App2 and App3. In order to install App1 , app2 & App3 has to be installed before App1 goes in.
Content location for all 3 apps are same e.g \\Source(.msi, .exe and script). Since App2 and App3 are part of same app, it should be combined together as one app and should install app on target systems at one go.
I can make it work using a script wrapper by calling each installer in a sequence and import to CM 12 and deploy, deployment type as script.
I am not sure about the best industry practice on this. Since CM12 has deployment type(not sure @ Use of DT) and dependency tabs, would like to understand this.
Thanks
