I am new to NSIS install creator and I need to run an external executable because this is an prerequisite and once it if finished i will be continuing the setup. I tried the below code but it just copies the exe to the installation path.

    Section "example" example
SetOutPath "$INSTDIR"
  MessageBox MB_OK \
    "The applications."
  File "Prerequisites\setup.exe"
  ExecWait '"exec" /i "$INSTDIR\setup.exe"  /passive'
  SetRebootFlag true
SectionEnd
