Do you have a setup.exe or a .msi file?

If you have the .msi file, you could *possibly* try the msi2xml tool at
http://www.linkcad.com/msi2xml/msi2xml.htm. 

This *might* break up the msi file into component parts in addition to
creating the xml description.  If that is the case, you could then manually
put the pieces where they go, based upon the xml description.

This is just a wild assed guess, though.
