I had a similar problem a while back when I was trying to get dxsetup.exe to run with a custom action. I had made all the required dlls and cabs as binaries and it couldn't find them. I never found a way to make it extract all the binaries or to use multiple binaries in a custom action. I decided instead I would just create an exe with the files embedded and extract and run them from the temp directory which I think is similar to what your second option is.
