MSI based wrapper for other installs?

I'm looking for a simple way to generate an MSI based installer wrapper for another setup program. I've used Wise years ago and they turned insane when the Windows Installer stuff was made standard. That's why we now use Inno which is great.

Is there a simple MSI installer generator that would allow me to wrap another setup program? When started the installer ideally would just start the nested installer, not doing any installation work on its own.

Alternatively, is there an MSI based installer generator with the ease of use of Inno Setup?

The reason for this is that many big corporations have policies in place that prevent them from using software that does not come with an MSI installer, allegedly for reasons of easier deployment.

Any input is highly appreciated!

Regards
Markus
