Feb 10th - After speaking with David Humphrey I feel much better about my work. He has pointed me at a project know as Wix. Which seems to be an OS SDK for developing .msi files. Since I'm at work I can't write more yet.
Feb 14th - I've spent a ton of time trying to get the Wix toolset to build in a Vista environment. This has turned out to be nothing but annoying and I've decieded to move my project to a Windows XP platform.
Feb 17th - After trying to get the Wix source files to build for hours I've realized that I forgot to install the Windows SDK which is not listed as a prerequist to building the source code on the Wix website.
Feb 18th - I was able to build the source code finally. I also realized I could have just downloaded the binaries. I'm not to impressed with myself.
Feb 20th - Today I was able to actually build something with the Wix toolset. I had to read a small tutorial on building .msi files but after that I was able to build a very basic .msi. I will try to attach both the .msi and the script.
