In my organization, we are trying to deploy VSTO 2005 to a large
number of workstations via a software distribution tool (unattended
install). I'm having some errors during the installs and I'm
wondering if it is possible to have the installation program
(vstor.exe) produce a log file? Or is there a Microsoft Installer
package that can
be used for the install?

Found the answer. Extract the vsto.msi file from vstor.exe using
vstor.exe /T:[path to temp folder] /C

Then use msiexec /package vsto.msi /log [path and name of log file]
