[cisco-voip] MSI package to deploy CTIOS desktop agent

[Jonathan Charles]

Well, it seems there should be someone to make the exe and the ini available
as an MSI package, and instruct the users to fill in the server correctly...

Else, the MSI can be distributed and a batch file can be added to those
users' login profile to copy over the ini...
