MSI doesn't do dependencies though, does it? You can launch one installer from another, for example if you want to install a .net framework with the app, but they're completely unrelated afterwards. There's no built in mechanism for updating them either.

I thought you could depend on components from other packages that are either installed or advertised, but I don’t remember the details.
