[python-win32] MSI calling python.exe as part of Install Sequence

Hello all,

I am in the process of creating a .msi that installs a couple of 
packages by extracting the .egg files to a directory and then running a 
python script that installs easy_install, if it's not already there, and 
then uses easy_install to install the packages.  I have everything setup 
except that when I call python.exe to run my script, I do not want a 
command prompt window to appear.  Does anyone know how to tell the msi 
installer to not open a command prompt window for a call to python.exe, 
or any executable for that matter?

Thank you for your time.
