How to wrap a .exe/.msi installer in a custom .msi packet
Hi
I want to deploy SAP GUI to my users, by assigning the program to the computers that need it via AD GPO. But SAP GUI wont let you install it through its .msi package (and they dont supply a native .msi ...), so I can only deploy it via a .ZAP fil, but then I cant assign the application to computers.
So I have the choice of repacking the application, or simply wrap the hole package in a .msi, which calls the internal setup.exe with the right paramters. The first option I know how to perform, but the second I need some advise on.
How do I build a .msi package, that just calls a .exe on a network share?

Have you considered scripting it?
Being a total newbie when it comes to making .msi, I havent considered anything. Tell me more :)
