James,
Thanks for your input, I figured that would have to be the route I will have
to take. When I get this done I'll paste my results to the list so that
others may benefit :-)

I would do just that. If your computers are all under group policy then
create a boot script (vbs would be fine) that does the following:
. Check for a stamp file and exit if present
. read the config file in line by line.
. substitute the relevant tokens (computer name, password, director,
etc)
. write each line out to a new file
. rename the old file out of the way
. rename the new file to the old file
. create a stamp file so that you know it's already been done
If WiX could be made to build Windows installers under Linux it would be
really nice!!!
