Making MSI files.

Hi.
Does anyone know of some free software to create a MSI file?

Im looking at deploying software via GP and require the software to be in *.msi format.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance all.

What are you creating an MSI from? An exe or are you compiling your own program?

Good link, but all of the programs it lists cost. Including the ones it lists as being free.
