You can put the whole installer into a custom
property and spit it out, 
run the installer, and delete it when it is
all over.  I have done this 
a few times for installing fonts.

An excellent suggestion.
Also, most installers allow you to launch other
installers as part of 
the installation sequence.  So even if just
another file on the CD, it's 
fairly common for the QT installer to be
piggy-backed this way as just 
another step in the installation.

what makes a file "installed"
as opposed to "loaded" or "copied to"
the desktop?
For the most part they're the same thing.  What an installer can do for 
you is copy files to specific locations if needed, and on Win make any 
neessary registry entries (such as those needed to associate a file type 
with an application).
