Installing Office 2007 with PDF/XFS Add-in.

I've created an MSP file with the product key, license acceptence, etc.
Display level is basic with completion notice. I want to include the SaveAsPDFXPS
add-in with the installation. I've extracted the files from the .exe and
placed them in a subfolder of the installation root.

First, the "Add Program Entry" wizard says it supports MSI files, but the
Browse dialog box does not include them in the filter. I've tried pointing
to the MSI file, no luck. I've tried running MSIExec and referencing the
MSI file, no luck. I've created a batch file that calls MSIExec, no luck.

The installation completes successfully, as specified in the MSP, but without
installing the add-in. The setup log isn't giving me many clues, either.
Here's an excerpt from the end of the setup log file.

Has anyone tried the "add programs after Office installs" functionality before?
Am I missing something ??
