Very useable, but with one major issue: installers cannot be used in any enterprise using Allow-Listing / Block-Listing Endpoint Management. If the Nullsoft dlls in your installer have a valid digital signature, than this comment is obsolete.

I love NSIS and the nsis-mode in Emacs.

Very good, could be much simpler to set up your setup script though.

A free system for rapid development. It can be easily converted to msix. It helped me in two no profit projects :)
