I'm largely in favour, because I don't see myself getting around to
replacing the entire installer with something sensible soon.

The long term plan is to build an MSI based installer, because that leaves
the option of either embedding the cabinet files into the MSI or leaving
them external, and allows building binary patch installers that can upgrade
existing installations in-place.
