Ah, I've never heard of iexpress. Seems simple and pretty much perfect,
except that it doesn't seem to recognize an MSI file as a valid file to
run as the "Install Program" entry. My MSI doesn't show up in the
dropdown list and typing the name manually ends up with an error during
the actual install (I also tried "call MyFile.msi" as the Install
Program, but no such luck).
Has anyone triggered an MSI file from iexpress before? I guess I could
attempt to figure out where it unpacks the files and hardcode that path
into my Install Program line, but that sounds like a terrible idea... :)

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.
