I think you will find this to be a very polarizing enhancement request. I would
be on the other side of the isle - For my enterprise, we download the exe, run
it and let it un-pack, then cancel the install. We then go to the folder where
everything unzipped and gather the MSI and all related files to push out to all
of our enterprise desktops via AD. So the behavior is good for our situation,
but I do understand the other side.

To satisfy people on both sides of this issue, maybe the enhancement could be
for the initial unpacking program to ask what you want to do...Just un-pack the
install files OR Un-pack and install automatically. The automatic option could
auto-remove as well.

Of course, I know this is easier said than done, the auto option would have to
store the location where it unpacked everything and then write a registry entry
to remove that directory upon a reboot. Because you can't delete the dir while
the setup process is running...unless you used the original exe that does the
unpacking to initiate and cleanup after the installer.

Just some random thoughts.
