Rolling our Media Player 10 - how to create an MSI package

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.group_policy (More info?)

Microsoft provides a tool called 'Enterprise Deployment Tool (EDP)' which
can convert the exe file to msi based on options you choose.

But I am not sure whether it works for media player 10 or not.

can't find this tool anywhere. Do you have a link?
