As MSI is an MS redistributable, isn't it perfectly legal for us to put a copy of it on our web site? Does this project have a lawyer that can give an authorative answer to that question?

To answer my own question - they require that the installer only be redistributed with an application, that the application add significant functionality to the redistibutables themselves, and that the application be only compatible with MS Windows. I guess we can't put it on our site, though I very much doubt they are allowed to request that last paragraph. Still, we can direct people to their site and tell them to D/L it from there, if there are any problems.
