Please understand that MSI is *not* a proprietary installer.
Instead, it is just a data format to be interpreted by the
installer. Whether that installer is proprietary or not
depends on whether you use the Microsoft one, or write one
yourself (or perhaps use a free interpreter for MSI that
somebody else might have written).

So to help Wine, it would be best to write a proper MSI
interpreter.
