We are using the standard MSI installer / setup project with Visual Studio 2010. I recently found out that there is an extension for VS2013 to bring back that standard msi installer.

We had some custom requirements that required tweaking of the msi:

- disabling self-repairing shortcuts (because we use our own auto-updater)
- extracting the msi, modifying the app.config files with the client's network info and re-compiling the msi (using msi2xml and xml2msi) so they can just download from their server and install

There is also NSIS that can be used as an installer.

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
