I may be mistaken here, but I believe the tool runs automatically once
it's downloaded, and that's regardless of how many fixes and patches
are downloaded along with it.  (Take a look at the mrt.log file that's
located in c:\windows\debug.)  Actually, it's a good thing.  I'm not
sure why Gerald doesn't want it.

IE7 as a critical update?  Perhaps as an optional update.  Why would
MS try to force download that on unsuspecting recipients after all the
fuss over the infamous WGA notification updates?

Brian Livingston has some good info at his website regarding IE7.
