Not a converter, but you may want to take a look at Stall. It's an OSS project that lets you install your app via the command line, without having to configure anything.

I can recommend you this website: EXE to MSI Repackaging Knowledge Base. I has few articles that explain how to repackage EXE to MSI.

Taken literally there is no such thing as an EXE to MSI 'converter'. What you are probably trying to ask for are repackagers.

Repackaging Applications For Distribution

Now that you've revised your question, you don't need to repack an existing EXE based installer, you just need to create an installer. This is an exact duplicate of

How can I create a .msi file for a Java program ?

The best program I know for that is Installshield, is not the only program but you can custom everything.

If you would like to research a little bit you have a list here
