@mindplay I suspect the main reason for araq's vehemence is not malicious, but maintenance fatigue.
The old installer used [NSIS](http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page), which is a headache to deal with (the installer is built using the NSIS language, which closely resembles assembly and a [declarative language](http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Sample_installation_script_for_an_application))
