Check out the windows installer SDK there are api's to allow you to edit an
MSI. I would suggest just creating the client MSI and then using a custom
action to edit some properties during the server install.

Subject: [WiX-users] Generate MSI during install
I'm doing some planning for moving from our existing xcopy based deployment to
msi (hopefully with wix) based installs.
Our application is written in .net framework 2.0
We have a client & server that need to be deployed with separate MSI's.
The server side of the application consists of a bunch of dll files and an IIS
hosted remoting server.
I'd love to be able to "touch" or "generate" the client MSI as part of the
server installation, based on information entered by a network admin as part of
the server MSI install.
This way the client side of the application would already have server name, ip
address, remoting endpoints written into it's config file and the end user
woudln't need to enter that info as part of the client install.
I'm new to Wix, but I have been lurking on this list for the last 6 months or
so.
Is this something i can do with Wix? Has anyone done something like this?
Thanks
Phil
