C# Setup with SQL Server 2008 Install from C# library

I am using Visual Studio 2005 and C# to make a setup project. As a custom action I have a call to an EXE which is a C# windows form application which installs SQL Server 2008. The problem is that since the windows installer is already running when the custom action appears I am unable to install the SQL Server Setup Support files location in the extracted directory "x86\setup\sqlsupport.msi". Since the windows installer is already running I am unable to run another windows installer. I suspect I will have the same problem when trying to run the Native Client install. Is there a switch of sorts to get by this error?

Thanks.

Are you serious that you are installing SQLServer2008? Not SQLServer2008 Express, or SQLCE?
