Many thanks for sharing this. Really useful! I'll start taking a look at adding support for WiX to NBPackage sometime after NB26. I may look at WiX 5+ though, as this looks like it might simplify the templating requirements. NBPackage will handle all the branding token stuff automatically. We should have resolved the issue of a new home for the community installers, which should lead to a viable alternative for NB26. That would stick with InnoSetup for now, though, as that has been widely tested already. Neither InnoSetup or WiX in themselves get us around the current problems with shipping a JDK-less installer, or we'd have ditched NBI earlier. Not that the way that NBI handles that is a good idea to replicate!
