Well, if both installers are written in WiX, just move the WiX <File.../> source into the main WiX installer. :-) However, if the one msi isn't written in WiX you could do an administrative install, then create the WiX <File.../> source for the files using heat.exe, and add then add that WiX source to the main installer.
