Deployment question - 2 installs in 1

[changobutt]

I would like to include 3rd party components with my deployment package. Can it be done? To be more specific:

I have an .msi file for SOAP ToolKit 2.0 which needs to be installed in order to run my application, so I need this installed on the host machine. But I'd like to include it in my setup project somehow so that I don't have to run 2 different installs on the client machine (SOAP and then my deployment package).

Is there a way, or am I stuck having to run both installations?

Thanks in advance!

Yea, I've looked through all the help, I've seen that page. The closest thing that I can get to is using "Custom Actions" But the setup file I have for SOAP is an .msi file, which are not accepted for custom actions.
