Generating .exe files from .msi files

[Dave]

Hi

I was wondering if it would be possible to generate an .exe file from
an .msi file. I'm asking this as I have made an installer using the
visual studio installer, but then I edit the msi file it generates
using Orca to add some additional features.

When I give out the installation file, I would prefer not to give out
the msi file as it can easily manipulated, and prefer giving an .exe
file.

It seems doable, though I don't know how it could be done.

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks
