If I understood you correctly you said that there is no need for 
developing a compleatly new system, a Packagemanager only had to provide 
  a interface for the msi files.

First of all, I have to say that I don't know much about that msi stuff. 
So my question is how would the msi file and the program communicte ? 
The point with a packagemanager is that you choose to install lots of 
packages and leave your PC alone. So the package manager had to send the 
dessions of the user to the msi file and then the msi file had to do 
it's operations senlitly. And send reports to the package manager from 
time to time. And if something went wrong, it has to send a compleate 
error report.

So how would that work ?
