Assuming the .config is part of the MSI, I'd first use ORCA to create a transform that disables it from the MSI. Then I'd use Windows Installer XML (WiX) to create an MSI that contains only the .config. Finally I'd use WiX to create a Burn bootstrapper the installs the MSI (applying the transform) and then installs the config MSI. It would all show up in Programs and Features as a single entry controlled by the bootstrapper.
