I not used installsheild, but typically such installers allow you to include a package and “chain” to that msi as part of the install. You can add a few command line options to the msi to have the install show “just” a progress bar or even command lines options for a silent install.

So you would not attempt to re-create the msi install for the runtime but you certainly could include the package and chain + install that application as part of your overall installer scripts. I do the above with the Inno installer and thus include the runtime as part of the package.
