Did you try looking at iexpress? I've never used it, but John suggested it last 
week for building a wrapper exe. Just open a cmd window and type "iexpress" for 
the wizard.

Hehehe... just got done blogging about how to make a single-.EXE package with 
.NET yesterday.  The methodology I used can be used for both managed and 
unmanaged projects (although it's admittedly much easier for managed projects). 
 It may help a little, though its not exactly what you're looking for.

        [WiX-users] Create EXE wrapper around my MSI?







I know this is a total cop out, but I don't know how else to deal with
my Vista UAC issues right now. :(  People have mentioned that one way
around some of the issues is to create an EXE wrapper that requests
elevated permissions and then runs my MSI.  Is this easy to create?  I'd
like to try that out but I'm not sure where to start.
