FTR: this was attempted in v.6.0 (if I recall correctly the version). The
package by MS is an .exe that bundles MSUs and *MSIs*, which makes it
impossible to install it with our MSI; the only way is to hack it to run
outside of the main installation, and require another authentication request,
and impossibility to be installed administratively.
