It was clearly purposed for packaging IE, it always was. Now it also seems to
have become repurposed as a generic basic solution. Now that it leaked into
the OS it probably is fair game. Heck, I just read a TechNet article
suggesting it's use for slipping things into a Sysprep postinstall via
cmdlines.txt. Go figure...
So I guess if it meets your needs, rock on. Personally I need a lot more
power and flexibility in my bootstrappers. I can't see how IExpress could even
begin to provide proper servicing in terms of UAC manifests, caching of
packages, detecting installed products and performing upgrades, installing
prereqs ectera so it's of no use to me.

Yes but it still says it's for packaging IE not other apps. I don't know
how to touch this one to tell you the truth.

I'm reading this page:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/ie/ieak7/eula.mspx
And I don't see any rights to use iexpress in the way that I read it
being described here.

Is this legal? Does Micrososft convey redist rights to reuse this as

I need this to be done as part of an automatic daily build process
which also creates the .msi file. I am not sure if IExpress can be used for
this purpose. Any alternative?

Use IExpress.exe. You probably already have it (its part of IE).

Hi,
How can I convert an .msi file to .exe?
