There is a Windows Installer SDK but it won't help you in this case. You'll have to use the SetupAPI in Win32 to install the required components. The users will also have to have their installation media for Windows and possibly reapply service packs/patches to the machine after you install the components. No, I don't know the exact procedure or functions you need to call, and I don't have any examples. You're the first person to ask this in the 6 years I've been around here.

After quite a bit of digging, you may want to research "sysocmgr". It may handle what you want, though you'll have to write custom .INF files to use it.
