Seems like they want MSI to go away. I'm finding it harder and harder to find published ones.

The kind of tried it years ago by not including setup projects in visual studio (MS Developers think publishing directly from VS is a good idea), the problem was there wasn't a better alternative.

I didn't mind NSIS (nullsoft of winamp fame), but it was weird to say the least. Install scripts were a high level, domain specefic variant of assembly...

We switched to Advanced Installer when that happened.

Now I notice that probably 50% of the MSIs that I run are using the AdvancedInstaller dialog skins.
