There is a set of standard settings we apply to packages created through
visual studio. Instead of using Orca to manually set these values I wish to
create a utility that will automatically do it.

How would one go about modifying a MSI package through code? Or what
resources can somebody point me to that can get me started?

There's a short API example here:

and this should be helpful;
