[wix-users] Installing DirectX without installing the install EXE

Hello,

I followed some instructions online to have my installer run the DirectX 
exe during the install. It seems to work fine. However, what the 
installer seems to be doing is putting the DirectX install EXE into the 
installation destination directory before running it. I really don't 
want the DirectX exe there. Is there a way to run an EXE included in the 
msi during an install without actually installing it anywhere? If not, 
should I copy it to the TEMP directory and run it from there and then 
delete it afterward?

Thanks in advance.
