Well this newsgroup is for "SMS Installer" questions so I guess you could
use that.
SMS Installer is free and can create exe's or msi's.
There is a new 'free' tool as well from InstallShield, I think it is called
InstallShield for SMS or something.
There are a couple good tools that cost money. I prefer WISE but there's
also InstallShield.
There are a couple other free and cost tools out there on the internet you
can also find to help with Repackaging Applications.

The two free ones for SMS can be found on Microsoft's website in the SMS
Section in the SMS 2003 downloads.
