The software I'm talking about is
http://www2.smarttech.com/st/en-US/Support/Downloads/SBS/NBSv10WinEval.htm
The installation instructions say "3. Install Notebook software 10." and "4.
Install Notebook software 10 drivers."

I'm not sure if the "Notebook software 10" will refuse to work if "Notebook
software 10 drivers" arent installed and I cannot really test this at the
moment either since I dont have the needed hardware at hand.

> This looks like both software packages are very closely coupled. Why not simply creating a package which first runs the commands to install software (A) and then installs software (B)?

I dont want to create packages that install two or more softwares at once.
Especially since the "Notebook software 10 driver" can be used without the
"Notebook software 10".


Another situation where a chained installation would be handy are extension for
Firefox, updates for Microsoft Office, etc etc ...
