The Setup.exe can be written in many languages. The one I've chosen is Delphi. This allows us to AutoRun the Setup.exe from CD/DVD without worrying about C# runtime libraries being needed, etc.. This Setup.exe reads from a Setup.config XML file. The XML file is what holds the command line that we want to run. This way we can reuse the Setup.exe each time and just modify the setup.config to call a different command line.
