attached is a patch for preliminary MSI installer support via WiX.
you will need a copy of visual studio (2005, 2008 of any flavor
including Express) to build the MSI package.

a test of this installer can be performed using one of the development
snapshots compiled at:
http://peertech.org/torbld/info/Tor-mod-svn-Thandy
just copy and invoke the tor.msi file on the detail page for a
successful build and follow the prompts.

A silent installation can be performed with a /quiet option passed:
ec /i tor.msi /qn

A repair operation can be performed with /f and remove via /x
