Can anyone reccommend a MSI package creation application?

Preferably free and easy to use. Planning on using it to deploy applications via startup scripts.

Cheers.

If it must be msi, is there any chance you could tell us why?

If you just need an installer, I'd recommend NSIS or Inno Setup. Inno Setup is especially good if you're new to this kind of thing - it has a very useful GUI interface (ISTool, optional, not in the standard package). Both are free.

Will be deploying via group policy and startup scripts which I believe only supports msi, mst and msp.
