Hi,

I talks to some windows guy lately. He gave me the impression that for
Windows, MSI is the way to go. His reason is clear: MSI ist the standard
for installing software on Windows, much like rpm/deb is on Linux. Some
more reasons can be found in
Martin v. Löwis paper about Packaging Python with Microsoft Installer
<http://www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/home/loewis/msipackage.html>;: win64
support, non-interactive installations, installation through group policies.

What do you think?


Some interesting links:

useful tutorial
