Yes, this is exactly what we want. NBPackage is designed to run with
platform-specific tools, just like JPackage.

The NBPackage tool builds an image of all files and configuration, then
executes the native build tool.

I was planning on looking at WiX sometimes soonish, but if anyone else
wants to get there first that'd be great!

Exactly the switch we're looking at right now. Although I have some
concerns about the difference in trust of the certificate. Are you using it
now? How have you found it?

Signing can be done cross platform with JSign afaik mind you.

Best wishes,
