Are you serious? Have you ever used WiX in a serious capacity? It's far superior to NSIS in pretty much every way.

I do not like the idea of moving to Windows Installer for RosBE 2.0 - it can be quite tedious to clean up if the install is half done. IMO the original installer (NSIS) is much more cleaner than Windows Installer too.
If it ain't broke don't fix it I say.

Can we decide on dropping support for rbuild stuff in RosBE 2.0? Reasons:
- RosBE 2.0 will certainly come with an updated set of build tools.
(GCC 4.6 with mingw-w64 target is planned, maybe even a multilib version) The target change already makes older builds uncompilable with RosBE 2.0. Even if this would be fixed, nobody would guarantee you that a revision built with RosBE 2.0 behaves the same as one compiled with 1.5.x.
- Several versions of RosBE can be installed parallely, especially if
you're also moving to a Windows Installer for RosBE 2.0, which doesn't care about Uninstall entries of NSIS. So everybody has the option to build older rbuild-powered revisions at any time.
- It could make all scripts cleaner again :-)
