I am using WiX toolset to create my MSI package and from what I can
tell, it's as easy as changing <Product> tag to <Module> tag.
 
Here's a link to the project website:

	Actually, log4net should ship with both an MSI for itself and an
merge module to include in other installations.

	 

	The MSI is pretty easy, but I don't know much about merge
modules.

	Subject: Any plans for an MSI package?

	 

	I need to deploy log4net to the GAC and I am looking to make
this part of an overall MSI package.  Is there an MSI distribution for
log4net?

	I would include it as part of my MSI package.  However, in
discussing this on various windows installers newsgroups, I've been told
that the best way to approach this is for the producer of the component
to provide an MSI.

	It's sort of like why one should obtain a Primary Interop
Assembly from the manufacturer for a COM component if you are going to
use one in your .NET project.

	I would volunteer to do it but I'm a newbie to the whole
installer thing myself. 

	Any ideas? 
	Thanks 

	Jiho Han
