The WinInstallLE (light edition) comes with Server for
certain (I am unsure but believe it may also be on the
XP CDROM).
The Visual Studio (of course is not free) has an installer
packager.
It is my impression that there are others which have
working free versions but I have no further information.
The key point about MSI is that it allows for mass installs
by Active Directory Administrators. (It's pretty good
technology too, but not -- to my knowledge Open Source.)
