Microsoft certainly doesn't like to make things easy do they?
I assume though that if someone in the WMF group clued in to using MSI
that they might also have the foresight to provide a merge module for
the redistributables. Kind of like they should have years ago.
However, assuming that they continue to do things like they have
been for years (i.e. badly), what is the way to install another MSI
installer from within my own?
You need a bootstrapper application, aka a setup.exe to install your
prerequisites. If you search the list archives
(http://www.mail-archive.com/wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net/), there is
quite a lot on this subject.
I personally have started using dotNetInstaller, which as well as
installing the .net redistributables, can chain any other package you
need.

John
