How is Windows Installer related to the other Microsoft packaging tools
(pkgmgr.exe in Windows Server 2008 and DISM.exe in Windows 7), in
particular when using them to enable or disable Windows Optional
Components? I know that I can't "nest" Windows Installer invocations
(that is, use a Custom Action in one .msi to invoke an install of
another .msi). Can I use Custom Actions in a .msi to invoke pkgmgr or
DISM to manage Optional Components? The commands would be of the form

  pkgmgr.exe /iu:Component
  DISM.exe /online /disable-feature:Component

and I'd want to use CAQuietExec (in WiX v2) to call them.

Apologies if this is too far off-topic; recommendations for better
places to ask would be welcome.

Many Thanks,
                   jjf
