MSI is only good if there are alternatives (Score:1)
As MSI is greatly hampered by administrative restrictions (like disallowing installations into a custom directory, if at all), it would be great if you kept simple .zip-file distributions/installations in mind. Many Windows builds of open source programs are distributed .msi-only , which makes them unsuitable when the central distribution mechanism is too slow and too expensive for quick installation and tryout.
