The MSI files require the Visual Studio 2005 SP1 redistributable and dotNet 
2.0. Sometimes dotNet 2.0 setup may also require Windows Installer 3.0 if 
that redistributable is not installed. Ideally, all these dependencies 
should not be required on production systems. As an alternative, the setup 
project can be converted into an xml file that is compiled through 
WiX.sourceforge.net. I could contribute to this, if it gets approved.
