Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All

The NSIS installer system is quite dated, requires to write hard to maintain
(asm like) scripts, necessary plugins are no longer maintained (and only
available as binaries [¹]), and .msi installer are supposed to be better
integrated with Windows [²].

Regarding different msi installers, we got a recommendation for Inno Setup.
