Is it possible to run the Windows installation program from the boot menu?

Is it possible to run the Windows installation program from the boot menu?

I have a computer with Windows 7 32-bit and an iso with Windows 8 64-bit,
and would like to install Windows 8. This means that I can't run setup.exe
from the iso (it's a 64-bit program). Unfortunately I have no DVDR discs
or USB storage units handy. The computer has a single drive with two
partitions, the second is empty. If I extract the iso to the empty
partition, can I use bcdedit to add an entry to Windows 7's boot menu that
will run the installer from the second partition?
