You can do the same from other app MSIs, and if they're already there it will just do a quick verify on the common plug-in instead of two applications existing with a sizable overlap/conflict. It is possible to call an MSI from within a MSI, so the base application install can launch the add-on MSIs creating a "single" install.If that happens, you'll reduce the install time by upgrading only the portion that has changed. Future releases may use the same add-on.If you bunch up the add-on with a single app, you will make things more difficult for yourself if you find yourself deploying another app that uses the same licensed add-on. That vendor may not be the only one who has done that. Being a separate install is a sign that the vendor licensed someone else's software and bundled it with their app. Sometimes the multiple installs are bundled into their main install, I separate them out as well. Haven't done that particular app, but I find that the best rule of thumb is when there are multiple separate installs, keep them separated even they came in the same box.
