The scripting is fairly straightforward and simplistic. It takes no time at all to get a basic installer up and running. The NAnt install is so simple that it would just be a couple of lines.
Some other observations:
Some script statements are executed at compile time, some at runtime and some at both. It has enough power to do everything you really need. Some of the stuff we needed to do wasn't in the core NSIS code, but was available in extensions. Like I said before, I was hoping that NAnt might actually be able to replace some of the NSIS extension stuff.
I'm also hoping that you can get the NSIS installer to host Windows.Forms applications. You can get access to hWnd's and other goodies from within the NSIS script, so it may just be a matter of passing it to a bundled app on the command line and setting it as its parent.

How are you finding NSIS ? I'm thinking about using it to build the installer for NAnt ( when I get time ). I made one a while ago but discussion at the time pointed to making an msi based insaller. I'm thinking though that NAnt is mostly an XCOPY install and NSIS is probably an easier and simpler option.If someone implements your IIS idea NAnt might be a good candidate for the grunt work in our (NSIS-based) installer. Who says that NAnt only runs on the build server. :)
