Unfortunately no. It can package any MS Visual Studio exe (C++, VB, J++,
etc...) but not re-package someone else's.
There is a light version of the install shield creator on the Win2K cd
though... it is clunky, and requires some trial and error, but works.
And then there is deployment via .ZAP files. Which, in my limit experience
with it, is about as useful as breasts on a male bovine (t*ts on a bull).

Can Visual Studio MSI packager repack exe-installs to functioning
msi-packages?
