You can a use a repackager tool for converting legacy setups to .msi. You can try i.e. WinInstall LE (comes with W2K Server), WinInstall LE 2003 from ondemandsoftware.com. Wise Installer and Install Shield Admin Studio offer repackagers as well. All of these software can also create new .msi directives.
