I want to push an application to all clients on the network but all I have
is an exe file. How can I make a msi file so that I can install it from
active directory?

A lot of .exe packages are really .msi packages rolled up as a single
executable. Try running it with a /x switch and see if the files will
extract. If not, run it normally but as soon as the installer starts have a
look in your temp directories for the files that have been extracted. You may
be able to copy the required files from there and then cancel the
installation.

If you really need one, try here for a free msi packager
