MSI (Not the make)

- but the program.

Hi,

I have written a program that needs to be distributed to
a larger number of computers in the company where I work.

For each distribution I need to check for the precence
of .net, and if not I need to install the fxdotnet.exe
thing. Next I need to create some keys in the registry on
the computer. I do not wish to invest a lot of time to
learn how to use an install wizard, but was wandering if
there where some nice easy tutorial on using the
Microsoft Installer for this purpose - Know anything?
