automated msiexec and office 2000 install

Hi all

Is there a way of using a batch file to determine whether Windows Installer
(msiexec) is
installed, and if it isnt, install it silently then continue to install
Office 2000 from a
adminastrative point?

I'm creating a script that installs Office 2000 but I cant use the msiexec
command without
program being installed first, and if you have to do it manually, it defeats
the point of having
scripts methinks ;)

The Win98SE clients are the problem here as msi isnt there by default. I
have instmsi.exe,
instmsiw.exe and instmsia.exe but dont know what the differences are and how
to get a
script to choose between versions depending on the OS. Any thoughts on all
this?

Many thanks,
Nathan
