There's a misunderstanding here. Inno setup doesn't compile to
MS installer, it's a complete independant solution.
Whatever makes more sense. From my very limited understanding
.msi installers are natively understood installers in Windows,
and the weapon of choice for robust and more professional
installers.
If innosetup is just another NSIS like tool, it might not solve
all our problems.
We're fairly clueless here and could really use help here.
Just signing the NSIS installers could work for now, any
support for this hypothesis.
I tried to submit the latest release as sample to Microsoft but
their file upload had a size limit smaller than the binary.
I worked with NSIS and InnoSetup. InnoSetup is much cleaner and
easier.
At work we switched from NSIS to InnoSetup and we create MSI
packages from NSIS and InnoSetup packages IIRC.
I think it's better to go with InnoSetup because it might be more
easy and probably more powerful than building MSI directly. But I
don't have any experience with building an MSI installer and the
feature set of MSI.
We are also signing the installer and all exe and DLLs inside.
