Description

The NSIS installer system is quite dated, requires to write hard to maintain (asm like) scripts, necessary plugins are no longer maintained (and only available as binaries [¹]), and .msi installer are supposed to be better integrated with Windows [²].

Regarding different msi installers, we got a recommendation for Inno Setup.
