I've packages built by bdist_wininst, Is there any way for install them 
silently?
Or is there any way for convert them to another format (ex. msi) in that 
way I can install them silently.

PS
I tried to unzip that packages (I thought I may re-package un-zipped 
packages by NSIS or something else) and I discovered that the structure 
of directories of bdist_wininst packages so different! for example:

---xlwt-0.7.2.win32.exe---
PURELIB
     |
     |-- xlwt-0.7.2-py2.5.egg-info
     |-+ xlwt
             |-+ doc
             |-+ examples
             |-- __init__.py
             |-- antlr.py
             .
             .

---bzr-2.3.4-1.win32-py2.6.exe---
DATA
     |-- Doc


PLATLIB
     |
     |-- bzr-2.3.4-py2.6.egg-info
     |-+ bzrlib
             |-+ bundle
             |-+ doc
             |-- __init__.py
             |-- _annotator_py.py
             .
             .
