Is this a Wine bug then? It has it listed as a console based application. When you run msiexec directly on Windows I know it does not start a console window so I guess this would imply it is a GUI with a hidden window right?

Just another Wine-ism. The real rundll32 and regsvr32 are not console apps either, and Wine has them as console apps. Also, a "GUI" app doesn't need to really have any window at all, hidden or not. ;) Regsvr32 is one example of a GUI app that does not create any windows. On the other hand, a GUI app can still use stdin, stdout, and stderr when they are valid, for use with redirection or pipes.

A simple examination of Windows' msiexec.exe with any PE-analyzer out there reveals that the type is set to Win32 GUI (and not Win32 CUI). And if you try to start msiexec.exe in Windows, without any parameters/keys, you'll get a GUI messagebox with possible key combinations, etc. Definately not a console with help.
I guess Wine would need this changed too.
