We don't need to implement every MS dll. We only need to implement:
- core dlls (kernel32, comclt32, ...) which applications expect to be
available
- dlls used for compiling/porting (msvcrt)
I guess this msiexec is not loaded to the system after a clean
Windowsinstall. In this case the installer must cope with the situation that
msiexec is not there and must provide it itself.
