On a base install of windows, under program files, there is an installshield driver, along with
ikernel.exe. I may be wrong because it has been a while since I reinstalled windows, and so therefore it may be added when you run an installshield installer for the first time, but even still, directx is an "addon" to windows, but we have a component for it. Heck, even MSI is an "addon" to windows, in that it's listed under windows update and they release new versions of it. Granted directx and MSI are affiliated in that they are made by M$, but like I said, installshield requires a dll in order to enable to files to work, just as MSI and directx do.
