RE: Any plans for an MSI package?

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.

 

-c

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
