MSI's in the c:\winnt\installer foler

I'm working with Wise Installer to create a msi "shell" for an executable so we can put it out through active directory. I want the program to show up in add/remove, but I don't want the MSI to show up. So I use the following properties:

ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT
ARPNOREMOVE

So it doesn't show up in add/remove which is fine, but if you run the MSI again, it will bring up the modify-repair-remove menu. Since it is calling an executable in the MSI, it will try to install the program again while uninstalling the MSI. Is there a way that I can have the MSI not create the file within the c:\winnt\installer folder?

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks in advance,

T
