Hi Dave, Is the MSI script available somewhere so I could build my own installer?
Yes, it's in the CVS on GBorg.
The latest snapshot is a lot more stable than the Nov 2003 stable release and i will need the version that does not have the OID issue to continue with my Access/Postgresql rollout.
Any reason why you are using MSI instead of something like Inno Setup (http://www.jrsoftware.com)?
MSI is what Microsoft support these days - it allows packaging into merge modules for easy inclusion in other packages, and installation are easily scriptable.
I would be willing to maintain a snapshot installer if you need some extra help.
Well I have been meaning to port the installer from Wise for Windows to Wix if you'd like to look at that and take over it's maintenance. Wix (wix.sf.net iirc) is Microsoft's first open source project and allows you to build MSI files from XML code. It will also decompile existing MSI files which should definately give you a head start.
