DTF is meant for creating build automation / installer authoring tools also. My guess is he has an MSI that wasn't built using WiX and he'd like to use DTF to merge a module (perhaps built using WiX, perhaps not ) into the database.
DTF's Database class has a merge method to handle this. You can also look at the MSI Windows Platform SDK example ( WiMerge.vbs ) for a general overview of how this is used. The examples are in VBScript using the WindowsInstaller.Installer automation interface but it'll port over to C#/DTF pretty easy.
