$ rm -f wine_gecko-1.1.0.7z
$ 7z a wine_gecko-1.1.0.7z wine_gecko-1.1.0.msi gecko/
$ cat 7zS.sfx wine_gecko-1.1.0.cfg wine_gecko-1.1.0.7z > 
  wine_gecko-1.1.0.exe

where 7zS.sfx is the self-extractor and wine_gecko-1.1.0.cfg looks
like this:

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
Title="Wine Gecko 1.1.0"
BeginPrompt="Do you want to install Wine Gecko 1.1.0?"
ExecuteFile="wine_gecko-1.1.0.msi"
;!@InstallEnd@!
