I should spam the list less :)Hmmmm ... I might be talking nonsense warning in advance:

Easy way to write a Wine version of MSI? Hardly important at the moment, but might be in future.
I had a look at this a few months back, tried to port it to Linux to fiddle with MSIs.
If I'm correct in my memory, the problem was that it uses the Microsoft APIs to access the MSI files (i.e. it doesn't have its own msi file format parser), then dumps the database structure into .xml. So I guess it wouldn't be directly helpful to get Wine to do MSI as Wine doesn't have those API functions. Might be helpful for investigating stuff, seing examples of code, however.
On the other hand I might be wrong so if anyone's interested they should check with the project owner
