I want to keep it really simple. Ideally, I would like the ui to look identical to the ui for the msi in terms of flow and appearance - same welcome screen and general appearance.

Honestly, I don't even need the licence page or install path prompt here, just run the exe, which will install the vcredist packages (maybe pop up a info dialog, or show a message, so the user doesn't freak out that it's taking too long) and then launch the real msi, which has the licence and install path prompts.

Cheers!
Jon
