    I have used VS to make MSIs  to package the MSMs from this package:

In cerbero you can define several kind of packages (take a look at
cerbero/packages/package.py):
  * Package: creates a Merge Module in windows (.msm)
  * SdkPackage: group of Package merging Merge Modules into an Installer
(.msi)
  * InstallerPackage: Similar to SdkPackage except that it only install
Merge Modules to extend a current installation. (.msi)
  * App: creates an Installer for applications.

Calling "cerbero package base-system" will  create a merge module for the
package base-system.
Calling "cerbero package gstreamer-sdk" will package all the Package
included in this SdkPackage and create an Installer.

Merge Modules are useful to embed GStreamer into your application's
installer in case you use VS. There is an explanation of the different
deployment strategies here:

The default installation path is set by the variable install_dir (check
packages/gstreamer-sdk/gstreamer-sdk.package).
For windows it's set to "gstreamer-sdk", which translates to
c:\gstreamer-sdk\<api_version>\<arch>

You can install it everywhere, it's completely relocatable provide you keep
the original tree structure.
