Is there a way to convert a .xpi addon to .exe and it install correctly in FireFox?

I work at a school and a bunch of classrooms with a bunch of computers need to have a certain Firefox extension installed. I need to be able to convert that Firefox extension's installer from .xpi to .exe so Microsoft System Center can push the install out to all the machines. Is this possible?

Thanks!

Not that I know of, but there are other ways to install an extension. You can use the Windows registry or possibly use some scripting (e.g. parse profiles.ini) to copy the files to the profile folder.
