In addition, you can probably create your own self-extracting program to take care of your needs. In other words, you just need to create a simple C/C++ program to add your msi to it. So when the user executes your exe, it would detach the msi from itself and call CreateProcess to launch msiexec. Please look for an example on codeproject that extracts the executables.
