Oops - also meant to suggest you chek the groups available via
msnews.microsoft.com for a more suitable group.

Suggest you "take a look" at the WAIK Windows Automated Installation Kit
which provides details for preparing applications in MSI format.

Here's what you're looking for; a FREE tool that converts / creates .MSI
installer from an .EXE that you can use for deployment via Active Directory

I'd be interested to know under what circumstances anyone would want to
convert an "exe" to an MSI? Are we talking about re-engineering an old
style InstallShield exe, or are we talking about packaging the exe part
of an application?

Hi,

I use this tool now and it works good:

http://exetomsi.com

It converts .exe to MSI which can then be used to software deployment using
Group policy.
