If I am reading it correctly the initial msi downloads the
CoApp-Engine.msi and finishes (exits) with the downloaded msi as a run
target with some arguments passed that tell it what to do when
finished. When the CoApp-Engine.msi finishes installing it relaunches
the original msi passing the arguments it received back that tell the
original msi to start installing from a new path that does the real
install with all the CoApp bindings.
